Lately, Middlebury College has been acting confused. With the state of the world right now, who can blame it? The cost to provide a liberal arts education continues to rise, which is exacerbated by the Trump administration’s war on higher education. We’re in the process of breaking up with our long-distance partner in Monterey, which has been awkward but for the best. Meanwhile, in Vermont, Ian Baucom is crisscrossing our campus with the energy of a philosophical super-senior. What are we here for? he is asking. Our college? This whole thing called a liberal arts education?

A couple years ago, I had a professor who started each class by introducing an “AI tool” and having us fiddle around with it. Write a nonsense poem satirizing the musical Hamilton in Lewis Carroll’s voice, I’d type in, and the program would barf out some metrically-challenged slop. Make me a Marc Chagall-style painting of the Iron Dome, and the machine would produce a hilariously over-saturated image of a Star of David floating in the sky, with angels draped in Israeli flags flying underneath. The purpose of these exercises, according to the professor’s syllabus, was simple: “AI tools are here,” he giddily announced. “There’s no going back, and they’re pretty cool. Let’s not be Luddites… This is your future.”

As the weather finally warms up (forgetting this Tuesday's snow), students finally begin to trade parkas, mittens and wool hats for lighter layers. The College emerges from its winter routine as Adirondack chairs fill Battell Beach and McCullough lawn once again. Students rush to get a coveted seat at the few tables outside the dining halls.

The first time “Zeitgeist” showed up in my inbox, I almost ignored it. It was my first year at Middlebury, and the word meant nothing to me. But I clicked the link out of curiosity. As I read through the questions, I was struck by how different they felt from the ones institutions usually ask. They reflected the kind of questions and conversations I was having with my close friends.

For student-athletes, Athletics staff, and regular gym-goers alike, the Peterson Family Athletics Complex is a daily fixture, but notably far from the college’s main dining hubs. The Den was created to close that gap, bringing convenient access to food to a corner of campus that had long gone without it.

There’s a moment in “The Last Waltz” that comes at about the 34 minute and 53 second mark, at the onset of the last chorus in Neil Young’s performance of “Helpless,” which a friend of mine once singled out, when we were arguing the film’s best scenes, as a jib door to transcendence. He was listening to the recording of that performance one time — alone, outside in the snow, through headphones (did it help that he was under a certain kind of influence?) — and that moment was what took him there, he said. I knew what he was talking about. The verse is ending when Young looks sideways at The Band’s Robbie Robertson and Rick Danko, then looks again, and then, grinning, joins them at their microphone, while Joni Mitchell — somewhere off-stage, glimpsed in silhouette by Martin Scorsese’s camera moments before — finds the wild, wordless current of a high note and rides it above them all as Levon Helm tumbles into his symbol and the crowd’s shouted affection gathers to a crest and, for a few seconds, one collective sound of holy abandon rises out of that perfect chorus of three chords and a one-word refrain to level you.

Ryan Murphy’s newest drama has everything a fan of his would expect – dramatic storylines, heavy extremes and any opportunity to invoke his key “baroque” style. “Love Story: JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette” is a nine-part series about the high-profile marriage of John F. Kennedy Jr. (Paul Anthony Kelly) and Carolyn Bessette (Sarah Pidgeon) through their meeting in 1990s New York City, their intimate wedding in Cumberland Island, Georgia and the tragic plane crash off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard resulting in both of their deaths.
