</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> Sorry for the short notice, but for any of you in or near Seoul, tonight's (Wed) Royal Asiatic Society meeting will feature Peter Bartholomew giving one of his rare but authoritative slide lectures on Choson Dynasty architecture, what it shows about the society, aesthetics, religion, education and philosophy of the times, and how (too) much of it fared under Japanese rule and since. This topic has become Peter's passion and particular specialty over the 35 years he has lived in Korea. </FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=LEFT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> Peter's talk begins at 7 p.m. in the auditorium of the Korea National Tourism Organization headquarters building in Mugyo-dong, a block north of the Lotte Hotel/Department Store. </FONT></P>
