SUMMARY:Thursday Seminar: “The Birds\,” by Aristophanes
DESCRIPTION:The Birds\, Aristophanes\, 64 Pages \nExcerpt: \nWhat misfortune is ours! we strain every nerve to get to the birds\, do everything we can to that end\, and we cannot find our way! Yes\, spectators\, our madness is quite different from that of Sacas. He is not a citizen\, and would fain be one at any cost; we\, on the contrary\, born of an honourable tribe and family and living in the midst of our fellow-citizens\, we have fled from our country as hard as ever we could go. ‘Tis not that we hate it; we recognize it to be great and rich\, likewise that everyone has the right to ruin himself; but the crickets only chirrup among the fig-trees for a month or two\, whereas the Athenians spend their whole lives in chanting forth judgments from their law-courts. \nThat is why we started off with a basket\, a stew-pot and some myrtle boughs(3) and have come to seek a quiet country in which to settle. We are going to Tereus\, the Epops\, to learn from him\, whether\, in his aerial flights\, he has noticed some town of this kind.

SUMMARY:Monday Seminar: "Good Country People" by Flannery O'Connor
DESCRIPTION:“Good Country People\,” by Flannery O’Connor\, 15 pages \nBESIDES THE NEUTRAL EXPRESSION that she wore when she was alone\, Mrs. Freeman had two others\, forward and reverse\, that she used for all her human dealings. Her forward expression was steady and driving like the advance of a heavy truck. Her eyes never swerved to left or right but turned as the story turned as if they followed a yellow line down the center of it. She seldom used the other expression because it was not often necessary for her to retract a statement\, but when she did\, her face came to a complete stop\, there was an almost imperceptible movement of her black eyes\, during which they seemed to be receding\, and then the observer would see that Mrs. Freeman\, though she might stand there as real as several grain sacks thrown on top of each other\, was no longer there in spirit. As for getting anything across to her when this was the case\, Mrs. Hopewell had given it up. She might talk her head off. Mrs. Freeman could never be brought to admit herself wrong on any point. She would stand there and if she could be brought to say anything\, it was something like\, “Well\, I wouldn’t of said it was and I wouldn’t of said it wasn’t\,” or letting her gaze range over the top kitchen shelf where there was an assortment of dusty bottles\, she might remark\, “I see you ain’t ate many of them figs you put up last summer.” \n

SUMMARY:"St. John's College: A Year of Classics"
DESCRIPTION:St. John’s seminars offer nine profound\, rich\, and resonant readings taken from the core of the college’s distinctive curriculum. The 2025–26 gathering of readings asks challenging questions. In the community of a discussion-based classroom\, we study these texts and confront their questions together. We offer a once-a-month experience in the life of the mind\, a true source of reward for the busy executive\, stimulation for the artist\, engagement for a parent\, and all of these for those who are at work building our world on strong foundations. \n2025–26 Theme: Solitude\nSolitude is a paradox. It is a state that can be freely chosen or imposed against one’s will; it can be met with pleasure or through pain. For some\, it is the necessary condition of a reflective life\, while for others it is something to be overcome or resisted. Solitude can take place in genuine isolation or through a loneliness experienced even when surrounded by others. When should we seek solitude and when should we seek community? How do we find the balance? What are the rewards and the risks\, what is the beauty and what is broken when we find ourselves truly alone? \nMeet online or in person in Annapolis\, Maryland; Washington\, DC; or Santa Fe\, New Mexico. \nReading List for 2025–26\nSeptember: Sophocles\, Philoctetes\nOctober: Ovid\, Tristia\nNovember: Kamo no Chōmei\, Hojoki: A Buddhist Reflection on Solitude\, Imperfection and Transcendence\nDecember: Descartes\, Discourse on Method\nJanuary: William Shakespeare\, Richard III\nFebruary: Friedrich Nietzsche\, Thus Spoke Zarathustra\nMarch: Emily Dickinson\, The Poems of Emily Dickinson\nApril: Hannah Arendt\, Origins of Totalitarianism\nMay: Toni Morrison\, Jazz \nTuition\n\nIn-person tuition for Year of Classics is $1\,050 per individual seminar.\nThe tuition for the Cosmos Club Section is $1\,500\, which includes pre-seminar gatherings with refreshments.\nOnline tuition for Year of Classics is $850 per individual seminar.\nWith proof of current employment as an educator\, participants receive a fifty percent discount on seminar tuition. Discounts are available to the first 16 teacher registrants.\n\nSIGN UP NOW
