Despite what you may have heard, intellectualism still lives in America’s colleges.

From April 21 – April 23, 2005 Washington and Lee University and Virginia Military Institute will play host to the brightest and most ambitious young minds in the country as over 2000 students  gather to share their scholarship - addressing topics from quantum computing to time travel to Thomas Jefferson to tribal dance.

There is no cash prize.  There are no award statuettes to carry home.  This conference is about academic discovery, accomplishment and collaboration.  That’s all. And that’s newsworthy.
