¹û¶³´«Ã½

It was back to work Monday morning after an exciting weekend. In the morning’s class students examined the definitions, postulates, and common notions in Book I of Euclid’s Elements. They will get a chance to put this knowledge to work during study hall tonight, when — for the first time — they will attempt to demonstrate Euclidean propositions on classroom chalkboards!

After class, Admissions Director Jon Daly (below) hosted a discussion session in the campus coffee shop, where he described the ¹û¶³´«Ã½â€™s admissions process and answered questions. Typically more than half of High School Summer Program students go on to enroll at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½.

Then came lunch, followed by the afternoon class, in which students discussed a new addition to the Summer Program curriculum, Tolstoys’ Death of Ivan Ilyich. Other than the Euclidean props, the highlight of this evening will be the much-anticipated basketball tournament — pictures to follow!
