How do you define ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï? Generations of ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ïies have pondered this problem. Borrowing from Wittgenstein, we decided to employ the technique of ostensive definition. We interviewed 12 good-natured members of the Class of ’14 and asked them about themselves, their theses, and what they learned at ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï. You might be surprised by what they have to say.
