Tradition
A standing tradition of the Brooklyn Latin school would be the extensive trips that take place. In freshman year, the students go to Boston to visit their sister school and to enjoy themselves as well. Any newly employed magistri are also asked to go. When senior year arrives, the students head to Italy and roam from its northern reigns to its south.

Famous quotes containing the word tradition:
“I allude to these facts to show that, so far from the Supper being a tradition in which men are fully agreed, there has always been the widest room for difference of opinion upon this particular. Having recently given particular attention to this subject, I was led to the conclusion that Jesus did not intend to establish an institution for perpetual observance when he ate the Passover with his disciples; and further, to the opinion that it is not expedient to celebrate it as we do.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It is characteristic of the epistemological tradition to present us with partial scenarios and then to demand whole or categorical answers as it were.”
—Avrum Stroll (b. 1921)
