Summer Assignments

According to Sam Bacon, dean of academics, “Reading broadly and intelligently are essential components of a good education, and the Blair faculty encourage reading throughout the year. The summer is no exception. All students are to read a minimum of four books (fiction/non-fiction) over the summer, and we hope that they will read five. Any of the books required by the courses may be included in that total. Others, as needed to make up the total of five, are to be of your own choosing. Notably longer books may count as two titles. Depending on the course you are taking next year, you may be examined – in written or oral format – on one or more of your choices.”

To that end, the faculty have submitted a roster of readings – specific expectations for selected 2009-10 courses. Click here.
