The first bloom of crocuses in the gardens in late February was always a very welcome sight! And again with another passing year, scholars met in Ottawa to see the next group off to begin their studies in Oxford at the Sailing Dinner. In this issue, you’ll find their biographies, the toasts from the Sailing Dinner, and impressions eight-weeks- in by 2015 scholar Logan Graham. I’m sure that all of these will bring back fond memories to returned scholars.
