Another great day on the Oxford Tradition! Following the Major and the Minor, the students had the opportunity to hear two very different, yet equally fascinating, speakers.
This afternoon, we were joined by David Benedictus, the author of 25 books, who has most recently written the newest volume of the classic Winnie the Pooh series, Return to the Hundred Acre Wood. He has been widely involved in film and television as a director and producer, working with the BBC and Francis Ford Coppola. As Commissioning Editor for Drama at Channel 4 in the UK, he won an International Emmy for Porterhouse Blue, the comical tale of a fictitious Cambridge college. David entertained the students with tales from his literary career - a truly compelling talk.
Our evening speaker was Dr. Tim Benbow, former teacher of War in World History and expert in military affairs. His discussed the issues involved in the fight against terror in the 21st century, weaving skillful insight with compelling interaction and stories. A truly great night enjoyed by all!
