This year™s celebration of St. 91¿ì»îÁÖ Day ended, as always, with a beloved College tradition ” Trivial and Quadrivial Pursuits, a campus-wide game famous for its extravagant costumes and over-the-top displays of creative gamesmanship. Three teams, each drawn from members of all four classes, vied in a competition to answer questions drawn from the College™s classical curriculum. A panel of tutors devised and posed the questions.

Per custom, each team chose a theme and appropriate costumes. Captained by Gerry Coughlin (™17), the Logicians dressed in costumes from Napoleonic France. The Rhetoricians, with captain Timmy Hartzell (™17), took for their theme the Bolshevik Revolution. Meanwhile, the Grammarians, in homage to the ancestry of their captain, Giorgio Navarini (™17) competed under the banner of œBy Big Fat Italian Wedding.

At the end of the competition, this year™s winners ” the Rhetoricians ” celebrated with the faculty at a party in the campus coffee shop.
