All College

Twice yearly during the Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior years, each student sits with his tutors and hears their observations on his work. The primary aim of the Don Rag is not, like a report card, to state the degree of a student’s mastery of the material. It is, rather, an occasion for offering him specific advice on how to improve his class preparation and participation and to help him advance in the intellectual life.

This month, Thomas Aquinas College will celebrate its 50th Commencement exercises, and in honor of the occasion, it will welcome distinguished speakers and celebrants to fete some 110 new graduates — the members of the Class of 2024 — on both coasts.

In your charity, please pray for the soul of Dr. Richard George, who died Saturday morning, as well as for the consolation of his family and loved ones. Dr. George was an early Thomas Aquinas College tutor and father of Dr. Marie (’79) and Ellen George (’82).
