During the long lunch period on Sept. 28, Chris Nikoloff, head of school, gave the first of a series of lectures inspired by Alan Watts’ “The Book.” The lecture focused on human concepts of the self, and what people mean when they use the word “I.” A central focus of the discussion was how to begin answering questions about the persons that people believe themselves to be. The topic elicited many insightful questions and comments from the audience of students and faculty.
