To his right, a professor, Jeffrey Lunstead, a former U.S. ambassador to Sri Lanka, former State Department Foreign Service officer in Pakistan, and a member of the 2001 Bonn Conference. I ...
Last week, the Campus reported that Midnight Breakfast had been expanded to three nights. However, although the SGA approved three nights, Dining Services is currently comfortable with providing only two nights due to staff reductions. There will therefore be only two nights of Midnight Breakfast this ...

Every year, Middlebury College releases statistics about its student body diversity in publications, government agencies, surveys and other databases. These statistics, however, do not factor in the diversity of students who matriculate to the College in February. According to Dean of Admissions Robert ...

A.J. Gordon founded Gordon College in 1889 as a Catholic school “to prepare the people of God to do the work of God in bold and creative ways.” On Friday, however, either the school basketball team was not as prepared as Mr. Gordon intended his students to be, or getting out of Pepin Gymnasium ...
For family, friends and fans, the NESCAC semifinal women’s hockey game on Mar. 6 was nothing if not a nail-biter. Sitting on the edge of their seats for almost four and a half hours — more than twice the length of a normal game — the crowd at Amherst’s Orr Rink watched as the Panthers battled ...
The men’s hockey team successfully returned to the top of the NESCAC as they won the title last Sunday afternoon, skating against Bowdoin on Maine ice and defeating the Polar Bears 3-2 with a last-minute goal by tri-captain Charlie Townsend ’10. Going into the tournament, the Panthers certainly ...
