  Screening: Alfred Hitchcock's "North by Northwest" - St. John's College\n
 \nThe theme for the Annapolis Graduate Institute summer lecture series is 
 “Thinking about America at St. John’s College.” \n\nWhen Stringfello
 w Barr and Scott Buchanan began the “New Program” at St. John’s in 1
 937\, they described the College as “deeply rooted in the American tradi
 tion.” So deeply rooted\, in fact\, that they claimed “the ‘fundamen
 tal and inviolable principles’ of the College charter are recognizably p
 rinciples also of the Declaration of Independence.” It is this striking 
 and surprising claim that inspires this summer’s lecture series\, “Thi
 nking about America at St. John’s College.” In what sense is the colle
 ge not only rooted in the American tradition but something like the embodi
 ment of the American tradition? How does the pursuit of liberal learning s
 upport the vision of political liberty articulated in the Declaration\, a 
 document whose 250th anniversary we celebrate this summer. In the course o
 f taking up these large and difficult questions\, the lecture series will 
 also investigate which distinctively American texts have established thems
 elves as indispensable components of a liberal education and which might d
 o so in the future. And\, in a moment when any number of prominent advocat
 es of liberal education have shown a resurgence of interest in the America
 n tradition\, the series will ask whether the study of a single national t
 radition is in fact compatible with the aims of liberal education.\n\nView
  the full series: Summer Lecture Series.\n\nLectures will be livestreamed 
 to the college's YouTube channel.
