Students spent the morning discussing the compromises that had to be made after the Civil War. To fuel their discussions, they read the Reconstruction Amendments, “New Colossus” by Emma Lazarus, and “On Democracy” by E.B. White. Professor Mealy and Professor Pinsker debated on if there were too many compromises after the Civil War. Professor Pinsker, on the negative side, won. After lunch, student were hard at work on preparing for Friday’s debate before heading to an admissions session to learn how to nail the college essay and interview. Because of the big D.C. trip tomorrow, students relaxed during the evening with a movie. Predictably, students chose to watch Lincoln.
