The single carries all the hallmarks of classic Lorde — her signature husky vocals layered over an electropop and synth-pop soundscape, driven by crisp percussion and introspective lyrics.

I sat. To say that this night was momentous was a disservice to the magnitude I felt it held. My brother sat, then our friend James sat. All of us lounged on the L-shaped couch in my living room, a perfect middle ground between the two speakers and amplifier that make up our home surround sound system. We had spent the previous five years anticipating this album’s release, and the previous 18 hours anticipating the first listen. Different generations will claim their own “voice,” the singer or band who best emulates the revolution that is adolescence. For the three of us on that couch, that voice was Zachary Cole Smith and DIIV.

As most people familiar with Middlebury athletics know, the field hockey team has seen sensational success in recent years, having captured eight NCAA championships in the past nine years and an astonishing seven consecutive titles. But few know the captivating story beyond the scoreboard: What does their time off the field together look like when cheering crowds have dispersed? What is the secret to their success?

The future of academia and human capability has been called into question in the past several years with the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Perhaps nowhere is this concern more pressing than in a classroom, where A.I. has weakened trust between professors and students, made cheating more normalized and enabled some people at Middlebury to skate through their classes without truly learning.

The Middlebury Commencement is in the realm of the sacred, in what sociologist Émile Durkheim called “the ritual sense of the word. It has … transcendental majesty.” What are its sacred elements? The processional, during which faculty and other luminaries enter to the applause of seniors; the land acknowledgement and opening prayer; the commencement address (e.g., speaker Isabel Wilkerson’s inspiring call in 2018 for “radical empathy”); the singing of the Alma Mater, with its paean to the “sunset glowing o'er the mountains, snowy peaks and winding ways”; the recessional, during which the seniors — now Middlebury graduates — exit to the applause of the faculty and the others. It all adds up to a timeless, transcendent ritual.

On the evening of April 26, the arrival of the annual student-run arts festival, Nocturne, coincided with weather characteristic of April; heavy gusts and dark clouds hung over Middlebury, leading organizers to implement the event’s rain schedule.

Ten days before the release of Adrianne Lenker’s most recent live album, “Live at Revolution Hall,” this past Thursday, the artist’s label 4AD put out a release promoting the upcoming album. This page included a tracklist of all 43 songs and conversations composing the album’s runtime, as well as quotes from outlets such as The Sunday Times and The Times pronouncing Lenker to be an heir to Bob Dylan. What caught my attention, however, was the message written by sound engineer Andrew Sarlo (Lenker’s focus has never been on acclaim or comparisons, so this impulse felt right). The epigraph describes this project as a “loving memento from one friend to another,” demanding to be consumed with the same engagement one would devote to a film.
