Oh, To Be In England
The VMI Department of English & Fine Arts Trip to England
In the Spring of 2001, the VMI Department of English and Fine Arts took the first of its
annual trips to England, funded through the generosity of the late Stan Navas, VMI Class of
1941, and his Navas-Read
Fund. The trip is open primarily to English majors and minors, as well as to cadets taking
Spring courses in English literature. Cadets and faculty chaperones stay in London for the week
of Spring Furlough, see plays, tour the Globe Theatre and museums of art and history, and visit
literary landmarks inside and outside London, including Stratford-upon-Avon and Canterbury.
The fund pays for all the students' airfare, lodging, play tickets, museum tours, and excursions.
