Events
The Inn is more than a gathering place. The Inn has a lively social calendar that includes some of the most exciting events at the Law School.
Winter Dinner: The flagship event of the Inn is the annual Winter Dinner, a black tie/formal event held at a downtown hotel. Members meet early in the evening at the Inn for the signing of the annual poster, a tradition as old as the Inn itself. Original posters from as far back as 1918 can be found adorning the walls of the house. Tickets are free for members and guest tickets are available for purchase.
Harvard/Yale Game: Harvard may not be a university known for its athletics, but the annual Harvard/Yale game is a tradition that Inn members, and most of the community, can get excited about. The Inn provides a pre-game tailgate party and, when the game is held at Yale, a bus to transport members to New Haven to cheer on the Crimson.
Theme Parties: The Inn throws a number of festive themed events throughout the year. Some past highlights have included “Heaven and Hell,” the Inn’s annual Halloween party; the James Bond Martini Night; numerous Hawaiian-themed events; and the annual St. Patrick’s Day party.
Spring Fling: In recent years, the Spring Fling has offered students a chance to unwind a bit from their pre-exam stress by taking a scenic boat cruise of the Boston Harbor. In some years, the Spring Fling has been a semi-formal dance as well.
A poster signed by all the current members is drawn every year to commemorate that year's Christmas/Winter Dinner.Read more about this topic: Lincoln's Inn Society
Famous quotes containing the word events:
“Whatever events in progress shall disgust men with cities, and infuse into them the passion for country life, and country pleasures, will render a service to the whole face of this continent, and will further the most poetic of all the occupations of real life, the bringing out by art the native but hidden graces of the landscape.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“By the power elite, we refer to those political, economic, and military circles which as an intricate set of overlapping cliques share decisions having at least national consequences. In so far as national events are decided, the power elite are those who decide them.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
“Reporters are not paid to operate in retrospect. Because when news begins to solidify into current events and finally harden into history, it is the stories we didn’t write, the questions we didn’t ask that prove far, far more damaging than the ones we did.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
