ANNEKE LEE ’27 has co-authored Connections, Academics, and Purpose: Designing the Future of School with Cinde Lock. The book introduces the CAP Method of Education, a framework that positions students as contributors and change agents working alongside organizations seeking to make a positive difference in the world, and reframes academic rigour as the natural outcome of work that matters. Aimed at educators, school leaders, policymakers, and parents, it offers both a philosophy and a practical model for renewing education from within.

RON B. THOMSON ’68 has produced the first critical edition of Nicole Oresme’s Traitié de l’espere, a Middle French treatise written in the late 14th century for King Charles V and his court. Oresme’s text introduces physical astronomy — the elements, the spheres, the planets, eclipses — alongside the groundwork for mathematical astronomy, a study of the Earth’s habitable regions, and a striking early chapter on the day “gained” or “lost” by travellers circling the globe.
