All our Deacs have departed for their Winter Break destinations and campus feels empty indeed. I imagine that most of them arrived home tired but happy to see you, and glad to let you climb Laundry Mountain for them :) As you might imagine, it can […]
There is definitely a big drop in the number of students here. Walking across the Quad midday, I only saw two or three students. In Reynolda Hall, where they often find couches and tables and spots to study, there were far fewer students than earlier […]
