[NOTE : After a seven year's silence, we are going to try to crank up the Newsletter again. Hopefully it will appear three times a year. In order to assure such astonishing regularity, the Editorship has been snatched from me (I'm delighted!) and placed in the responsible hands of Florence Ireland. I wish her luck, and I know you all join me in that.--E.D.I.]

Articles written by honors program students. They were originally research projects, class papers or essays written for academic credit, but in each case the student has done further work editing and improving his or her manuscript for this publication. The articles represent a broad range of interests and disciplines, and they indicate a healthy attempt on the part of at least some students to dig for deeper knowledge and understanding than is usually associated with undergraduate study.
