It’s hard to pick a column topic — especially when it is your last. Instead of a rant or a player profile, I decided to do something different. Considering so many people around Grounds have shaped my experience here, I thought it appropriate to have members of the community help write this question is simple: What is your most memorable sports moment from this past school year?I asked faculty, students, student-athletes and administrators. Here are their answers: Dean of Students Allen Groves: “That’s easy: the seven-overtime, men’s lacrosse victory over Maryland. The athletics department had given me a field pass, so I was on the sideline for what would end up as the longest game in Division I lacrosse history, culminating in a come-from-behind victory.”Third-year Engineering Student Brendan Hesselbein: “For me, it has to be the football game this past fall. looked like a high school football team for the first 58 minutes of the game and somehow Verica got in the zone. He drove them right down the field for the tying touchdown and luckily the extra point got through the uprights.

Jefferson: a lesson for Europeans
Many European politicians have seen the EU as a future United States of Europe, although many of them are reluctant to admit it. The extraordinary thing is that they have not studied the history of the American Constitution. In Thomas Jefferson himself proposed that The Federalist should be adopted as a required text in the University of Virginia.
