The Lyceum, including Tea Time Talks, the Humanities Lecture Series, Translation Series, and the Humanist Games, are all great ways to discover the intellectual community within and beyond Washington University.

We even inaugurated a wonderful Summer Film Festival in 2007. We've screened a selection of classics including Sorry, Wrong Number, All About Eve, Mildred Pierce, The Awful Truth, Lifeboat, and Now, Voyager.  This summer we are focusing on the work of the late Robert Altman, with screenings of McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Nashville, 3 Women, Pret-a-Porter, and Gosford Park.

In the fall, we will meet the first-year Text & Tradition & FOCUS students and reconnect with sophomore T&T, FOCUS, and IPH students. These events are especially useful for students seeking information about an IPH major.

This year's Sophomore Round-Up will be held on Wednesday, September 10, 2008, 5:00-7pm, at the Whittemore House. Please RSVP by Friday, August 31.
