What About Thanksgiving?
What About Thanksgiving?
By Arya Ramachandran on November 23, 2020
Next week, the Thanksgiving holidays will be upon us. This is an important and cherished holiday for it is the only one of its kind in the United States and I daresay, anywhere in the world, that transcends race, religion and even politics. But how did this holiday originate?
The origins of Thanksgiving go much deeper than you might think.

A Vergil Quote for the Current State of Politics
A Vergil Quote for the Current State of Politics
By Aidan Houllahan, December 1st, 2020
While translating the Aeneid, I came across the quote in which Aeneas speaks his surviving crew. There is no shortage of quotes in the Aeneid that can apply to today, tomorrow, and the day after; this was no exception. It made an immediate connection. With everything we’ve been through, we are on our way to a proverbial Latium.

Aeneid Book I. 430-436
By Sherry You
The following lines depicted:
"The future stage - as bees in early summer
In sunlight in the flowering fields
Hum at their work, and bring along their young
Full grown to beehood; as they cram their combs
With honey, brimming all the cells with nectar..."
