0:00.0	Last summer, Francis and I spent a week with Rollston College students and professors in Greece,
0:05.0	and learning about the roots of Western civilization in the very place they emerged
0:10.0	was genuinely moving.
0:12.0	If you like Trigonometry, you love the fact that Rollstone runs a one-year MA in Humanities
0:17.0	for anyone with a bachelor's degree or equivalent in any discipline, and there's genuinely
