Seniors Offer Reflections in the Last Phoenix of the Semesters
Within our lives we must all prepare for the end. And so it comes to pass that the Class of 2011 will no longer walk our scarlet halls nor breathe deep the intoxicating airs of the Arboretum. They must take their leave of this College. But we should mourn not. For after our graduation we will all be made equal; no longer divided as Philosophy majors or Pre-Med, but all take on the title Alumnus. As T.S. Eliot puts it at the end of his Four Quartets: “We shall not cease from exploration/And the end of all our exploring/Will be to arrive where we started/And know the place for the first time.” In this issue, Adam Current ’11 and Nolan Eller ’11 offer final articles about their time here. Current gives his 47½ theses, not all of which are actually theses. Eller takes a look back at Morris Hall. Zach Rorhbach ’12 interviews Dr. Samuel Rocha, a rising star among the faculty.
It has become an enduring topic of our campus publications to write about Enduring Questions. The debates will continue and the course will become refined over time, but at the moment John Plaiss has some words for the course. The campus has had quite a few speakers recently, among whom are Star Parker and Bryan Stevenson. Jeremy Wenztel and Zach Churney offer retrospective pieces on their talks.
