Freshmen at Thomas Aquinas College begin their foray into natural science by reading and discussing the works of Jean Henri Fabre, a French naturalist with a particular penchant for entomological observation. But rather than focusing exclusively on his writings, they also follow Fabre into what he called the “laboratory of the open fields,” where they must observe and catch 30 insects over three weeks in the first semester. Accordingly, the members of the New England Class of 2027 recently grabbed their nets, containment vials, and jars, venturing into the “open fields” of Northfield.

Students, faculty, staff, and families at Thomas Aquinas College, New England, availed themselves of the Columbus Day three-day weekend by making a pilgrimage to the Basilica and Shrine of Our Lady of Perpetual Help — patroness of the College’s New England Chapel — in Boston, Massachusetts.
