On Sunday, Aug. 27, President William G. Durden officially convened the college for the 2006-07 academic year and delivered the Convocation address, which this year was based on the five dispositions that define what it means to be a Dickinsonian. Other highlights included remarks by Wilfried Müller, rektor of the University of Bremen, and recognition of the junior and senior sophisters and Shuman prize recipients.
