Everyone then enjoyed a delicious pasta dinner before heading over to the Dolben Auditorium for a short admissions talk. Admissions Director Jon Daly and Associate Director John Jost spoke about the process of applying to the College, and attendees had the chance to ask various questions about the curriculum, the Great Books, a degree in the liberal arts, and other related topics.
Then it was off to the classrooms to prepare Euclid propositions! Tutors assigned the first three geometry props for this morning’s class, in which randomly selected students will present material for the rest of their section and even field questions from their peers. Many are looking forward for the chance to get up in front of the class and present within the next few days.
A large group then filled Our Mother of Perpetual Help Chapel to pray the Rosary, and then all gathered on the lawn next to Tracy Student Center for a huge bonfire. A few of the tutors joined the group, and between s’mores and chocolate milk, they talked with students about the value of a liberal arts education and explained certain aspects of the College’s program of studies. There was much camaraderie, and a few even whipped out guitars and sang their favorite campfire songs.
