It Seems Really Fitting
We’re about a month away from school starting up again – and we’ll welcome the newest Deacs of the Class of 2016 all the way up through the seniors in the Class of 2013. And as we look toward this year and a time of […]
The Ghost of Farrell Hall
I drove onto campus this morning, and Farrell Hall, which had been a vivid canary yellow on its exterior, has now gotten a layer of a much more muted tan covering. I assume it is some layer of construction material that goes on before the […]
