2. Fellows Meeting Invitation
Dear Trumbull College students:
The Trumbull College Fellows will be meeting again on Thursday, February 26, 2009, in the Fellows Lounge, entryway K, second floor.
The guest speaker for this meeting is Professor Larry Samuelson, the A. Douglas Melamed Professor of Economics. His presentation is titled "Common Learning." Economic analysis has traditionally stressed the role of technological constraints in shaping economic activity. More recently, attention has increasingly been devoted to informational constraints. For example, recent events have reminded us all too clearly that concerns about information can give rise to large swings in economic activity that can take place with virtually no change in technology. The economy is affected not only by "first-order" information -- intuitively, what people know
-- but also "higher order" information -- what people know about what other people know, and what people know about what other people know about what other people know, and so on. This talk will provide a brief introduction to the issues surrounding higher-order information and its implications.
As in the past, up to ten (10) Trumbull College students are invited to join the Fellows for this talk. If you are interested in attending, please email me at william.massa@yale.edu no later than Wednesday, February 25, 2009, by 12:00 noon. If you find out later that you are unable to attend, please email me immediately so that I can invite any students on the wait list. We can only accommodate ten students so the first ten who respond will be invited. As soon as I read your email, I will respond to it.
Remember, do not respond to the Master's Office but email william.massa@yale.edu
Sincerely,
Bill Massa
Trumbull College Executive Fellow

5. Call for a Design Editor and Submissions for TC Lit Mag
Trumbull’s very own literary magazine, By the Horns, is back under a new name and new management! We are in need of a design editor who likes to play with color, fonts, and creative white space. We are also in need of submissions! Lots and lots of literary submissions! Send whatever essays, poems, short stories, vignettes, sketches you wish—all are welcome. There is no limit on the number of submissions though the word limit for any one submission should not exceed 10,000 words. While we are not operating on a set theme, works of historical fiction, life at Yale, or the color green may be viewed with particular favor, but the topic is free.
