Amidst the chaos there is hope. This was the main message sent by a vigil last night for the victims of the recent chemical attack in Syria that has killed at least 70 people, including many children.

The vigil was led by a Trinity student group, the International Human Crisis Initiative, in front of the Parker Chapel, and brought together close to 50 students and faculty.

As the participants gathered in a circle, their faces lit up by the light of the candles in their hands. Among them were athletes, sorority and fraternity members, and faculty. They made comments about the attack and said prayers.
