They were completely surprised at the diversity of classes that we had there, for a college so small – a class on T.S. Eliot, the Anglo-Irish Lit class, Edna Anne’s Milton, Shakespeare, Medieval and Arthurian classes; and of course Tom’s Japanese poetry classes and the classes on the Theatre of the Absurd and the Pound classes. Oh, I forgot the Black Mountain class, which a lot of my fellow students are envious of not having the opportunity of taking.” Jeff Hunt ’10 writes “I’m living as part of a program in Westminster, Md., in a group home with two other people with disabilities.
