Atlas Society Summer Seminar July 2003
In 2003, the summer seminar, my sixth, of The Atlas Society was held at Bentley College in Waltham, Mass. about 10 miles from Boston. There were about 200 attendees this year. As usual, there were lectures morning, afternoon and evening. People lecturing in one session are part of the audience in the other. Questions are usually insightful. First-time lecturers are typically amazed at the quality of questions. I finally managed to take a couple of photos.

Bentley College is built on a hillside in a quiet, peaceful area. Lots of good exercise for us flatlanders! |  |
The main campus, where the lectures were held, was at the top of the hill; the cafeteria, at the bottom. | |||

Outside the cafeteria, the employees from Student Health Services had dedicated this dogwood tree to the 4 alumni killed in the 9/11 terrorist attack. It seemed surprising even this remote campus was touched by terrorism. |  |
The four alumni killed were: Peter O'Neil Jr - 2001 Amy Toyen - 1999 Terrence Gazzani - 2000 David Carlone - 1977 "You will not be forgotten" |

Ed Hudgins is one of those rare people with an encylopedic knowledge from the Roman Empire to space exploration. |  |
I never miss a lecture from David Mayer who is a legal professor and an expert on Thomas Jefferson. | |||

Damian, from Harvard, is a talented rising star. |  |
I joke with Per Hansen, a free market economist from Denmark, by calling him a "Viking" because of his size. |
