Has the Blair Witch Paid Wesleyan a Visit?

Posted by Barbara 12/10/2008 3:38 PM
A mysterious wooden concoction appeared this morning on Andrus Field. Could it be that the Blair Witch has come to campus? Or perhaps it's merely some Wes student's pyre for their textbooks. Any clues, leave it in the comments!

Wesleyan Campus Says Goodbye To Fall

Posted by Barbara 12/03/2008 1:43 PM
As winter break approaches, Wesleyan's campus prepares for the new season. All of the leaves near the WestCo dorm have fallen and students no longer lounge on their balconies. I guess we'll all have to wait to sled on Foss Hill!

A view of a Wesleyan versus Amherst College football game on Andrus Field in "LIFE Magazine" from October 1958. The view bares a remarkable resemblance to today's scene from Foss Hill.

Wesleyan squirrels seem to be getting a little too comfortable this fall. I spotted this one casually eating atop a student's bike. Oh, Wesleyan wildlife!

When Midterms Hit, Wesleyan Students Channel Broadway

Posted by Barbara 10/24/2008 11:40 AM
I spotted this message in the tunnels of the Center for the Arts. I wonder what sparked this ode to "West Side Story", or should I say "Wes Side Story"?
