!"#$%&'($'"#)$*+,$!--.-/ A world traveler, folk singer, and a tutor for 22 years, Ms. Seeger sits down with The G(,F+#to discuss her favorite reads, adventures, and St. John’s. She will be taking over Freshman Music this year.
How did you come to be a tutor at St. John’s? I found out about St. John’s when I was a freshman in college, when the Saturday Review article that’s !"# $%&# '())# *+# $%&# ,&("-.# !/01&# turned up in my dorm’s common room. It looked like a fascinating place with a wonderful program. Many years later I was living near Washington DC, and I decided to apply for a position as tutor.
What is your least favorite seminar book? Nonfavorite seminar book likewise. Any one of them can be frustrating, even mad dening, but that’s one of the reasons we read them, I think. They challenge me to think more deeply, sometimes about things I wouldn’t have thought about at all, if left to my own devices.
Which classes are you teaching this year? This fall I’m leading the freshman chorus, “teaching” (which means mostly learning) junior lab, and taking part in the NEH study group on Lucretius’ De Rerum Natura. No seminar, which will be weird.
What is your favorite non program book?

Because it’s simulta neously serious, rollicking, and strange. Do I understand it? Absolutely not! Perhaps that’s part of its appeal: it’s a world still unexplored. This is a rather old book, of course, so I really should try some more modern ones. Suggestions ap preciated.
What was the biggest adventure you’ve ever had?

Dear St. John’s University: STOP EMAILING ME PLZ. It’s awkward. Thank you.
The future of SJCA is in such jeopardy. I’m blaming it on the common app.
One freshman seminar will be pop quizzed on Hegel on Day 1. Fingers crossed....
Protips: drunk dinner is much more fun than sober dinner. The dining hall during croquet is so fun.
Remember, ask not for whom the Beall tolls.

by Bryce Jacobsen !"A‘42 he reasons, both physical and metaphysical, why everyone ought to become in our sports program are many. I list a few: 1. We have the best athletic program of any college in the country. 2. Exercise is good for the body...unless you sprain an ankle or something like that. 3. Most of us feel better, are more alert, and can get more work done if our bodies are healthy and our souls are relaxed. 4. Friendly competition is one of the really fun things in life. It is good for your soul. 5. Your circle of acquaintances will be greatly enlarged. This is good for the soul, provided you can separate the wheat from the chaff. 6. You will learn to accept, and bear with, thousands of splitsecond decisions from !"#$%&'()*+,-$*$&#.$%&$.")("$*/#$./%012$3"),$),$4#/5$1%%6$&%/$!"#$,%7+2 7. 8%$5%7$+)9#$!%$,!/)4#$&%/-$*06$*(")#4#-$,:#()'($1%*+,;$<&$,%-$(%0,)6#/$%7/$(%++#1#$ blazers. They are much sought after, and the pathway is clearly laid out. Striving for goals is good for your soul. 8. It is probably true that the more pure fun occurs in the athletic program than in any other area of the college. Fun is good for your soul. 9. If you get involved in team sports, and become a “good team player,” you have realized that there are things in the universe that are more important than your own ego. This is a great good for your soul. 10. 3"#$=#0#'!,$%&$#>#/(),#$*06$&/)#06+5$(%?:#!)!)%0-$+#*/0#6$.")+#$%0#$),$5%701-$ should be maintained for the rest of your life...i.e, they should become habitual. For virtue, as the Philosopher said, is a habit. 11. You will get to know numerous alumni, tutors, and staff members who partici pate in the program. This is good for your soul, or ought to be...provided that they are the proper sort of role models. 12. Our showers are the best at the college; always plenty of hot water. 13. @/#$5%7$=%!"#/#6$=5-$%/$.%//)#6$=5-$!%=*((%$&7?#,$)0$!"#$*)/;$A%?#$!%$!"#$15?2$ The whole building is a nicotinefree zone. 14. <&$5%7$:#/&%/?$,%?#$,%/!$%&$"#/%)($6##6$%0$!"#$*!"+#!)($'#+6-$5%7/$0*?#$.)++$=#$ mentioned in our weekly column. Heroes are always acclaimed. But do not be carried away by this. Remember that “the paths of glory lead but to the grave.” 15. A high percentage of our best students are active participants in our program. 16. Those who play, stay. 17. The gym is not particularly wellequipped, as gyms go. But it has washers and dryers, and a coke machine...and I will explain to you, if you ask me, how you can get yourself in tiptop physical shape, without any equipment at all. 18.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. 20. It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness. So there you have it...twenty good reasons why you should participate in our athletic program. If you are not convinced by all of this, come and talk to me...I can probably think of some more good reasons. Or better yet, talk with the upperclassmen. They will tell you all sorts of strange, interesting, and wondrous things.
