The following is an announcement of the next meeting of the New England
Renaissance conference. The announcement is in LaTex and is two pages long.
If you are able to print it out, please post a copy at your local institution.
If you do not have access to LaTeX, or don't know how to use it, or prefer not
to, Patricia Emison, P_EMISON@UNHH.UNH.EDU, and I will be glad to send you a
