This year was very different than any in Philologia’s history; we’ve made the move to the Open Journals System provided through Virginia Tech’s Newman Library. The “journal” part of Philologia is now completely online at philologiavt.org. There you will find the full versions of the articles that are summarized in this magazine by the student editors. I am extremely thankful for the help the staff at Newman Library has given us throughout this transition. I am proud to continue Philologia’s tradition of publishing interdisciplinary works from across the college and showcase them through such a wonderful platform.
