Sherlock Holmes was an essential part of my childhood, as important to my upbringing as learning the alphabet and table manners.

From the mysteries on the moors of Baskerville Hall to the strange murders caused by a “Speckled Band,” I was hooked.
Fourth Estate is George Mason University's official student-run news outlet.
The organization was formed in Fall 2013 in collaboration between the student newspaper, Broadside, and an student-run news website, Connect2Mason.
Our mission is to inform Mason students, faculty and alumni about what's happening in the community. Through a weekly publication and an online presence, Fourth Estate covers everything from the Board of Visitors to the next concert coming to the Patriot Center.
