Men of Duncan Hall,
(I understand it is now Wednesday, but I composed this on Tuesday) Happy First Day of Classes! Happy Tuesday! While there are cultural debates regarding the popularity of this day in the week—the Greeks consider Tuesday an unlucky day (the fall of Constantinople was on a Tuesday) but the Jews think that Tuesday is particularly lucky (“it was good” was referenced twice on this day in the creation story)—the Duncan hall weekly email usually comes on Tuesday; so for better or worse, you can decide on the significance of today! Here we go...
Duncan Hall Faculty Fellow: Dr. Victoria Goodrich
First Year Students had a great intro meeting with Professor Victoria Goodrich, or just Victoria, on Monday.
