Like Schroeder, Abrams and Holm also focused on specific research topics they hope to pursue throughout the academic year. Abrams focused on genealogical research, using archives to find records of the turn-of-the-century family who lived on the homestead. Holm found interest in the structures themselves and the logic behind their placement on the site

Once I took a philosophy course, I realized it was a lot of fun. I love talking about ethics, morality, logic and argumentative writing. My formal Logic course was a lot of fun and actually helped me in a different math course. What are some moments that stand out to you during your time at PLU? This year I started a radio show

somewhat meaningless. It is through our narrative that we put them together, that we string them together, and provide them with a sense and a meaning, and in doing so, we turn them from events into processes. And there is always a logic to narratives, a logic that shapes them and gives them purpose. Understanding those logics is also important. That’s why history and literature are so similar, because it’s all narrative. It’s all about who is talking about what, you know? Once you understand that and

entrenched position I felt myself at war with myself, the horror of that which I read and my instinct for compassion fighting my instinct for logic and my will to shove my heart in a metaphorical box. Both sides lost that war. Out of the ashes I emerged with a shattered soul and yet somehow more whole than before. So, when asked: Do I enjoy my work? My flippant answer is usually along the lines of, “You know what I do, right?” The flippancy disguises, poorly, the depth of my remaining pain which this

Aristotle, Plato’s student, added searching logical analysis in the Politics, Ethics, and Poetics. In the medieval trivium of Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric, words reigned supreme. But these three are far from trivial! Out of the love of words, Erasmus produced the first printed Greek New Testament (1516). Based upon the

In the medieval period, those arts were identified with seven subjects—grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. I like to refer to these by name to emphasize that the liberal arts have always included the sciences
