Symposium

Tom Rasmussen’s Interpretations of the Chigi Vase analyzes multiple friezes and determines the purpose and relevance of them. To understand why the vase was created and who was intended to view it, Rasmussen analyzes the vase in an archeological manner. He then determines who the artist is by using fundamentals of the study of art history. To analyze specific scenes to determine whether they are literal or symbolic, he uses ecological cues. Finally, a foundational knowledge of Greek mythology…

It was incredibly eye opening to see how many people were going missing and some of the common traits, Indigenous and Female. Almost every time a white individual would go missing the post would be shared by numerous members of my friends and family, but when the individual was Indigenous than fewer people would share it.

“Well, Gentleman, how can we arrange to drink less tonight?” said Pausanias to the group of men at Agathon’s house. For a second night in a row, the gentleman came over to discuss and mingle or have a symposium of sorts.

One important speech given halfway through was given by Eryximachus, a doctor. Throughout his account, we are reminded of his craft many times and he then…

My start as a Rutgers student was more than I could expect. I have joined a fraternity which has enabled me to pursue many charitable activities.

Each step I have grown to love my school and the education it provides. Especially in the field of science. My love for science began while in high school. I participated in a research…
