the HMC Summer Institute and has for two years served on the Honor Board and as co-editor-in-chief of The Muddraker student newspaper.
Seibel Wins Scottish Philosophy Prize Senior chemistry major Zara Seibel capped off a “fantastic” spring semester abroad by winning the Daniel Garrad Prize from the University of Edinburgh Department of Philosophy. The award recognizes dis- tinction in the philosophy of science. “One of the cool things
about studying philoso- phy in Edinburgh,” Seibel reported, “was that many of the famous philoso- phers we learned about, such as David Hume, also studied there.” Seibel said the Brit-
ish educational system requires a lot of indepen- dent study, with grades resting largely, sometimes entirely, on the final exam. Fortunately, she found her Harvey Mudd experience enabled her to handle the work easily, leaving plenty of time for traveling and sight-seeing.
In addition to classes, Zara Seibel ’11 found time to travel to Scotland, including a trip to a sheep dog farm in the highlands.
