− | + | The TAMS Historical Awareness Society (THAS) is a committee under [[Fellowship for the Advancement of Cultural Education of Students|FACES]] dedicated to the dissemination of historical knowledge to the TAMS community. It was founded by [[Puranjay Shori]], [[Eeshan Joshi]], and [[Nathaniel Brown]] in the Fall semester of 2019. [[Hunter Anderson]] later joined the committee as a committee head. | |
+ | |||
+ | Puranjay initially intended it on being a [[Advised Clubs|club in its own right;]] however, his plans were foiled, and he had to relinquish control to FACES in exchange for the committee's establishment. He got his revenge, however, upon becoming a FACES Executive, which allowed him to bestow nepotistic favoritism to the club. THAS's eventual goal is to become a premier Advised Club, with FACES as one of its subcommittees. | ||

The THAS logo is emblematic of a Roman ''[[wikipedia:Vexillum|vexillum]]'', the flag-like object borne by the Roman military on military crusades. In [[Nathaniel Brown]]'s opinion, it is the best logo of any TAMS club/committee, and alone serves to justify the committee's perpetuation unto eternity. | The THAS logo is emblematic of a Roman ''[[wikipedia:Vexillum|vexillum]]'', the flag-like object borne by the Roman military on military crusades.

Attended by many in the Class of 2021, the introductory GA featured the song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn2RBKPMpU0 Rednecker than You] by Hardy, in reference to Hunter and Nathaniel's Caucasian heritage. The [[General Assembly|GA]] was a smashing hit, which can largely be attributed to Puranjay's influence in the class's popular culture. | Attended by many in the Class of 2021, the introductory GA featured the song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn2RBKPMpU0 Rednecker than You] by Hardy, in reference to Hunter and Nathaniel's Caucasian heritage.

Regarded as one of the most entertaining fundraisers in TAMS history, THAS raised over $100 for some charity by selling mini-cakes with a severed printed head of [[wikipedia:Marie_Antoinette|Marie Antoinette]], the last queen of France, who famously uttered [[wikipedia:Let_them_eat_cake|the insensitive phrase]] that contributed to the French Revolution. | Regarded as one of the most entertaining fundraisers in TAMS history, THAS raised over $100 for some charity by selling mini-cakes with a severed printed head of [[wikipedia:Marie_Antoinette|Marie Antoinette]], the last queen of France, who famously uttered [[wikipedia:Let_them_eat_cake|the insensitive phrase]] that contributed to the French Revolution. | ||

− | Several people, including [[Anthony Zhou]], Zach Tang, [[Abigail McDonald]], [[Gia-Uyen Tran]], and [[Temi Akinyoade|Temi]], attended what has become known as the "fatal meeting," a discussion of current events held by THAS in February 2020. In it, COVID-19 was discussed. Eeshan explained that rather than the "coronavirus," the virus should be known as its proper name, COVID-19, and participants theorized as to the extent to which the virus would shape the months to come. Little did they know that this was the last in-person THAS meeting until the [[Great Comeback]]. | + | Several people, including [[Anthony Zhou]], [[Zach Tang]], [[Abigail McDonald]], [[Gia-Uyen Tran]], and [[Temi Akinyoade|Temi]], attended what has become known as the "fatal meeting," a discussion of current events held by THAS in February 2020.
