last saturday i was thrilled to read about a school in co durham which has introduction the study of philosophy for students of nine years of age and onwards . according to both teachers and parents , the consequences are felt far past the classroom , " not just in terms of increased maturity , motivated and ability , but in a heightened awareness for the differing positions of others " . in 1999 , i walked through the gates of trinity priory to undergraduates as an undergraduate in the sociology course . i had just reported home from years living in another state ; i was lately wed , retired and had been diagnosed with a mental condition i didn ' t quite believe i had . i wasn ' t sure if i could cope .
Trinity College was founded in 1999.
