    SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS Squash Team Finishes as National Runner-up Although the Yellowjackets came heart- breakingly short of claiming their first squash national championship, the 2015– 16 season was marked by historic mile- stones in arguably the best season ever for the program. At the top of the list was a victory over defending national champion Trinity Col- lege in the semifinals of the College Squash Association’s Potter Cup. That win knocked Trinity out of the ti- tle game for the first time in 19 years and guaranteed that the Yellowjackets would finish above their previous national best of third in 2009. In the championship match against Yale University, the Yellowjackets battled from behind to force a 4–4 tie with only one point left to be decided. In the final set, Tomotaka Endo ’18 lost to Yale’s Kah Wah Cheong, sending the championship to New Haven. The finish was a reversal of an earlier season matchup in which Rochester beat Yale 5–4 at the Lyman Squash and Racquet- ball Center.

  • Basketball and Philosophy, Edited by Jerry L
    BASKE TBALL AND PHILOSOPHY The Philosophy of Popular Culture The books published in the Philosophy of Popular Culture series will il- luminate and explore philosophical themes and ideas that occur in popu- lar culture. The goal of this series is to demonstrate how philosophical inquiry has been reinvigorated by increased scholarly interest in the inter- section of popular culture and philosophy, as well as to explore through philosophical analysis beloved modes of entertainment, such as movies, TV shows, and music. Philosophical concepts will be made accessible to the general reader through examples in popular culture. This series seeks to publish both established and emerging scholars who will engage a major area of popular culture for philosophical interpretation and exam- ine the philosophical underpinnings of its themes. Eschewing ephemeral trends of philosophical and cultural theory, authors will establish and elaborate on connections between traditional philosophical ideas from important thinkers and the ever-expanding world of popular culture.
