Yale Russian Chorus - banner image

October 1955: Poster - Coffin lecture on Raskolnikov
   
The Yale Russian Chorus began in 1953 as a musical offshoot of the Yale Russian Club. Membership in the two organizations overlapped considerably until 1958 or so. An early activity was organizing lectures on Russian and Soviet topics for the Yale community. In 1955, when he gave this lecture, William Sloan Coffin Jr. was studying for a Bachelor of Divinity at the Yale Divinity School.
