The greening of the lawn in front of Tabaret Hall means the session—along with all the pressures and challenges that come with it—is drawing to an end! As this final busy period begins, I extend my best wishes to all students for success in their studies, exams and term papers.

Since most of you will soon be leaving the campus for the summer, I’m going to take a break from my blog for a few months. But I’ll get back to regular posting again in September. I hope you have found the blog useful. I have certainly enjoyed hosting it, and have found the many useful and thoughtful exchanges very rewarding. I look forward to continuing our dialogue in the fall and to reading about your ideas and perspectives.
