Kevin McMahon
Assistant Professor of Political Science
It certainly is an interesting time to be a
Supreme Court scholar, considering all the recent activity in
the judicial branch of government. For Kevin McMahon, it also
represents an opportunity to connect classroom teaching with
important current events that have grabbed the attention of the
entire nation, including college students. McMahon, in his first
semester at Trinity, is teaching a senior seminar called “The
Politics of Judicial Policy Making.” He notes with obvious
understatement that the timing is fortuitous. “It’s great
because there haven’t been any Supreme Court appointments for
ten years and now there just happen to be two during this
semester. It makes it much more interesting for the students
because the issues at stake are things they know and care
about.”

What they’re reading…
Stacy Swift
Office Coordinator, Community and Institutional Relations
One of the most memorable books I’ve
read recently is March: A Novel, by Geraldine Brooks.
In short, the story imagines the Civil War experiences of
Captain March, the absent father in Louisa May Alcott’s
Little Women. While his wife and daughters wait
patiently at home in Concord, Massachusetts, March
experiences the horrors of war, serious illness, and the
difficulty of learning to live with human suffering.

In November 1874, the Trustees elected as Trinity’s
ninth
president the Rev. Thomas R. Pynchon, Class of 1841. A
senior member of the faculty, Pynchon was Scovill Professor
of Chemistry and Natural Science. His immediate challenge
was to select an appropriate location on Rocky Ridge for the
buildings that are known today as the Long Walk. He reached
his decision with advice from the landscape designer Francis
Law Olmstead, the architect Francis Kimball, and the Trustee
Building Committee. |
