Friday night brought with it the annual Fall All-College Seminar at Thomas Aquinas College, New England, the cool autumn air and falling leaves pairing nicely with "The Death of Ivan Ilyich," by Leo Tolstoy. Faced with the opening question — “Why was Ivan Ilyich’s life most simple and commonplace … and most horrifying?” — students discussed themes such as social standing, the dangers of pride and vanity, and the value of living an introspective, thoughtful life. After the seminar, students and tutors made their way to St. Frassati Student Center, where they enjoyed pizza, drinks, and continued conversations.
