| This course introduces students to the Graduate Scholarship Program through close study of a single text in a small seminar setting. The text for each year's course will be selected by the professor offering the seminar. It will in each case be a fundamental text from the professor's field that has had an impact on his or her development and has some bearing on the theme of ambition. Students will consider the role of ambition in a good life; why the best-laid plans of ambitious individuals sometimes go wrong; and how leaders in all fields of human endeavor can set goals that are both lofty and achievable, while responding properly to setbacks and failure. In the culminating assignment, students will write an essay describing how, in light of the lessons they have learned from the work they have studied, they intend to improve the world around them. *This is a pilot course and will need review by the Curriculum Committee in AY23.* |
