Renaissance Men for Others

Japanese has the expression 文武両道 to describe people that are both good academically and at sport. In English, there is no exact translation, but we use a similar term “Renaissance Man” (ルネサンス男) to describe someone that has a balanced set of skills.

This term, the midterm test period covers a weekend being yesterday, today, Monday and Tuesday, so our boys have been studying hard.
