Friday's Library Reception

Today, as the students register for class, the faculty will be working hard to get the students ready for the academic year. The library is hosting an opening reception. Faculty and staff are invited to drop by for a bite to eat and to see new additions to the Lambuth library.

The Word for the Day-immutability (noun) the state of not being capable of changing or altering.

Reading Hint for the Day-"spec, spect" are Latin root words meaning "to look." Modern derivatives of these roots are: aspect, circumspect, introspection, spectacle, and spectrum.

The answer to yesterday's trivia question is the 13th Amendment to the United States gave African Americans the right to vote.

Today's trivia question: How many stars and tripes were in the United States flag when the "Star-Spangled Banner" was written?

The summer break is winding to a close as everyone on campus is looking forward to a great semester. Welcome to the freshmen (Class of 2010) and also welcome to the other returning students.
