MCI Traditions
One of the longest running traditions at MCI is the Manson Essay contest which dates back to 1871. This competition which has happened annually for more than 135 years has evolved into a competition between the entire junior class in which they need to complete a university level research paper and then make a speech on it. Only a select few are given the title of "Manson Essay Finalists" and then have to perform their speeches in front of the community at the Annual Manson Essay Contest. Only one will achieve the coveted title of "Manson Essayist".

Famous quotes containing the word traditions:
“... the more we recruit from immigrants who bring no personal traditions with them, the more America is going to ignore the things of the spirit. No one whose consuming desire is either for food or for motor-cars is going to care about culture, or even know what it is.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
