Welcome, friend

This weekend campus played host to the annual Ultimate Frisbee tournament known as Haverween, which featured strong showings from The Donkeys and The Sneetches (and their respective freshmen teams), but also a team of alumni.

Wednesday night the Classics Department put on their annual unrehearsed staged reading of an ancient text. This year’s choice, Lysistrata,, about a sex strike by Athenian women to put an end to the Peloponnesian War, was a hilarity-filled success.

Quaker & Special Collections just opened its latest show, You Are Here: Exploring the Contours of our Academic Community Though Maps, in the Sharpless Gallery of Magill Library.

Friday evening the Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery unveiled its latest show, Through the Plain Camera: Small and Shapely Pleasures in Contemporary Photography, which was curated by Sarah Kaufman ’03 and Rebecca Robertson BMC ’00, two former students of Professor of Fine Arts and Curator of Photography William Williams.

A recent article in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, written by a former student of Ira deA. Reid’s (and a classmate of Martin Luther King’s), includes an anecdote about how Haverford’s first tenured African American professor brought the future civil rights leader to campus in 1948.
