The mission of the Political Theory Project is to broaden and deepen the discussion of social and political issues at Brown University. We believe students at America's colleges and universities need exposure to a full range of opinions and viewpoints to establish their own independent thinking about fundamental political questions. The PTP creates intellectual spaces on campus where students of good faith and diverse viewpoints can gather to debate one another, freely and passionately, about the most pressing political problems of our day.

The Brown University Jabberwocks will entertain UK alumni, students and friends at a concert to be held in central London.

25 July: The Third US Alumni Summer Reception, 7-9pm
Savile Club, 69 Brook Street, London W1
nearest underground station: Bond Street

The past 2 years' summer reception at the Savile Club were such successes that we're repeating the event. The Ballroom at the Savile Club provides a very special elegant atmosphere for socializing and networking.

The reception will be held in the Ballroom with its imperial staircase unusually conceived as a single majestic sweep of space, uniting the ground and first floors. It was adorned with a lighthearted manifestation of the Louis XVI style, which had become so popular in the 1880's. The room floods with daylight from tall windows at both ends and at night the venerable chandeliers glitter in the profusion of mirrors. Such was the impact of this extravagant room on the Savilians of the 1920's that it was immediately painted brown in an attempt to render it more masculine. It was gloriously restored in blue and white gold by eminent architect member, Dennis Lennon.

Cost: £29 per person to include hors d'oeuvres and wine through the evening.
Dress code: Smart; men must wear jackets and ties.
