The Trinity Papers   Volume 21 2001-2002

Twenty-one years ago, the Faculty and Administration of Trinity College suggested that President’s Fellows undertake the publication of a journal to recognize outstanding undergraduate scholarship. As a result, The Trinity Papers, an annual collection of student writing, has become a long-standing tradition. A select group of President’s Fellows comprises the Editorial Board and judges the submissions anonymously every year, choosing the best submissions to appear in that year’s edition of The Trinity Papers.

This year, the Papers recognizes the work of students not only in the written medium, but also in the artwork that we have chosen for the cover. The Buddhist prayer flag, a symbol of thoughtfulness and understanding, helps represent the values that a liberal arts education strives to instill in every student, and the collection of papers assembled within this volume are a testament to the breadth of a Trinity education. We publish these works with the hope that they will continue to inspire new avenues of thought in all readers.

The Editors would like to dedicate this volume to those in the Trinity community who have been affected by the events of September 11, 2001.
