Professors Paul and Nancy started the lecture of with two beautiful music numbers on the piano and violin. The first song they played was Beethoven. It was amazing, makes me want to play an instrument. After they finished, a slide show was presented. Picture after picture of Europe was shown. My favorite was the one of McDonald's! Professor Mosley finally took the podium. He is a white haired English man who had been teaching at Cambridge University for nearly forty years. Many professors had left Oxford because of conflict and built Cambridge in 1209. Celebrating it's 800 year this year (2009). To this day Oxford is still their rivals. Cambridge has produced many Noble Prize winners, more than France. Pro. Mosley is a very entertaining lecturer. Even with his accent, his personality was humorous. Definitely someone I'd go listen to again.
