last saturday i was thrilled to read about a institution in co antrim which has introduced the study of philosophy for students of four years of age and onward . according to both teachers and pupils , the benefits are felt far through the classroom , " not just in words of increased assurance , desire and ability , but in a greater respect for the differing views of oneself " . in 1999 , i walked through the gates of trinity college to postgraduate as an undergraduate in the philosophy department . i had just reported alive from years living in another city ; i was recently married , unemployed and had been diagnosed with a mental illness i didn ' t quite believing i had . i wasn ' t sure if i could respond .
Trinity College was founded in 1999.
