Every Mother’s Day in Annapolis is an extra special day for about 100 mothers as they arrive in Annapolis to see their son or daughter graduate from St. John’s College.  The front lawn of the college is covered with seats and a dais to welcome the family and friends of the graduates.  St. John’s College of Annapolis, MD  (which has a second campus in Santa Fe NM) has a curriculum based on the great books of literature.  Classes proceed in a fashion similar to Oxford University in England.  The professors entice students to think and discuss the topics in question rather than lecture to them and have students take notes only.  Scholarly interaction is paramount.

From Flag House Inn we wish each and every graduate a joyous day and all the parents, family and friends attending a beautiful celebration.

Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers, too.
