The 2016 High School Summer Program is drawing to an end, but our young geometricians are as focused and determined as ever! This morning檚 session marked the fourth and penultimate class on Euclid檚 Elements, and the students have become quite adept at demonstrating propositions. Today they confidently worked their way through Book I, Propositions , , and , amazed that something that seemed so foreign and complicated  only days ago is now so familiar and comprehensible.  

In the second class, students continued their discussions of Boethius, which have spilled into the Commons and the residence halls. One prefect recently heard a group of students passionately discussing Lady Philosophy檚 explanations of the 渇alse goods and their perfection in God. Alas, today檚 class marks the end of the Boethius portion of this year檚 program. In tomorrow檚 afternoon session the last class of summer 2016! students will examine Flannery O機onnor檚 Everything That Rises Must Converge.

Before then, though, there is still much fun to he bad, including this afternoon檚 3-on-3 basketball tournament. Come back tomorrow for new pictures!
