Welcome, friend

Friends and Family Weekend was a flurry of activity (with actual snow flurries). A highlight was a talk by Howard Lutnick ’83, Chairman and CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, who shared his story of resilience, rebuilding and triumph after losing 658 of his employees in the attacks on the World Trade Center.

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.
