The 2017 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.  

At lunch students resumed last night檚 conversations from Fr. Sebastian檚 淭heology on Float presentation. They then went to the afternoon檚 class, where they discussed Boethius treatment of the difference between chance and Providence, comparing it to Sophocles depiction of fate in Oedipus Rex. 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 2017! students will examine Flannery O機onnor檚 Everything That Rises Must Converge.

Before then, though, there is still much fun to be had! This afternoon students will participate in the College檚 newest athletic tradition, the Chariots of Fire搃苍蝉辫颈谤别诲 quad run! Come back tomorrow for pictures
