Franklin College

“Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated”; this seemingly simple statement is found in a letter written by Rosalind Franklin to her father. Over seventy years after this declaration was made, an abundance of people have proven its truth and unknowingly use this statement to influence their education and life. Although Rosalind Franklin underwent various trials throughout her life, generational research can attend that her persistence made her into the brilliant chemist that is

Franklin College values their student to excel as a person and in the work field. The college’s mission statement is “Franklin College shall attain excellence as a personal, participatory, values focused, career sensitive, liberal arts teaching and learning undergraduate community. The college shall motivate and prepare its graduates for productive and satisfying lives of excellence, leadership, and service.” Franklin has taught me three main characteristics: excellence, leadership, and service

school, then I would not be attending Franklin & Marshall College. I attended a high school with an International Baccalaureate program, and 45 out of 300 in a class were in this program. The majority of the students who were not in the program either dropped out of high school, did not go to college, or took up an associate's degree in a community college. Many of the students in the IB program stayed in-state, and I almost did the same. At the time, College Park or UMBC seemed like the only options

I am writing to petition for my return to Franklin and Marshall College for the fall 2016 semester. In my previous petition, I stated I was going to pass all my classes and manage my time more around my academics. I passed all my classes and did everything I said I was going to do in my previous appeal. If I needed help, I will go to my professors and also attended group tutoring events. I was using a more efficient approach because I was using every resource possible to help me maintain my grades

Franklin and Marshall College has a variety of ways to keep the campus and students environmentally friendly. However, there are various resources that can be utilized differently to make F&M an even more sustainable and green campus. Lighting fixtures; campus utility cars including: Pubic Safety, Facility Cars, Emergency Medical Service, nightly shuttle; minimal solar panels; heating water for uses like: showers, sinks, and the swimming pool; using disposable items; using excessive textbooks; heating

Franklin and Marshall’s day of dialogue allows for a pause in the academic schedule that is conducive to introspection. As an institution tasked with educating individuals that are new to adulthood, a college must take the temperature of its students and cannot ignore tensions that arise. Since the Franklin and Marshall campus exists as a living ecosystem with many unique elements from “outside the bubble”, the administration must facilitate positive relations and interconnectedness to foster a safe

In Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales, the Franklin presents a tale which deftly examines the tension between ideal vs. reality. In a perfect world the marriage promise between Arveragus and Dorigen sets the tone for the rest of the tale by means of marital equality but in reality no good comes from it. Although “The Franklin’s Tale” is arguably the most equal out of all the Marriage Groups, its repetition of acts of magnanimity overpowers that equality and turns it into a kind of competition

agency over her words and her promise and assumes partial responsibility for her situation. The tonal gap between the two halves captures a contradiction in Dorigene’s lament that is replicated and magnified in ‘The Franklin’s Tale’. Although the Franklin attempts to “quit” with ‘The Knight’s Tale’ and presents his characters as equally dependent on fate and the gods, he ‘overgoes’ his social superior by emphasizing ideas that the Knight ignores or otherwise undermines

Good evening, my fellow pilgrims. We have traveled together for miles upon miles and we are finally back in my lovely inn. Hopefully everybody had a wonderful journey, because I sure had a great time listening to all of your tales while we were at it. All of us come from different backgrounds and social standing, and that’s what makes your own tales so interesting! Tonight, as we gather around the fireplace, I shall declare who intrigued me the most with your tale. The winner shall be given a big

struggled to get where they are. I also respect them more because I know that men do not always work well when a women is their supioure, and therefore they can make the women’s job even more difficult. I work hard as a student, so that when I graduate college I can confidently go into the work force with the understanding that as long as I am a valuable worker, I will fight for my right to, at least be offered, the same opportunities as my male coworkers; furthermore I will also fight to make sure that
