Blacksmith Crew sculpture

The Blacksmith Crew recently installed a piece of art below Jensen Hall to provide beauty and inspiration for the campus community. The crew created the sculpture when they returned to campus a week early in August for training with Dale Morse ’89. Every year Morse trains new crew members in basic blacksmith techniques and works with experienced crew members on advanced designs and skills. After the week with Morse, the Blacksmith Crew worked together to tweak and perfect the piece.

President Pfeiffer to retire in 2012

Sandy Pfeiffer, president of the College since July 2006, is retiring from his position in June 2012. “At the time of my retirement, I will have served six years as the sixth president of the College,” Pfeiffer said in an email message to students, faculty and staff. “I feel very fortunate to have been part of this special community. In the 16 months remaining in my presidency, I’ll work to prepare the campus for the person who follows me in this job.”

RIP, cool chemistry cat

Alumni, faculty, staff and students may remember spotting an adorable cat running around Witherspoon and Morse. That ginger feline was Dichromate, the cool chemistry cat. Dichromate came to the College 11 years ago from a student whose family was moving and couldn’t take Dichromate with them. Many students and faculty loved Dichromate. “He was so important to the students because he was a comfort to many of them during times of stress, finals and homesickness,” Stephen Cartier of the Chemistry department says. “He was a constant in their lives and gave them a little bit of the comfort of home.” Near the end of his life, Dichromate became sick with lymphoma and passed away peacefully. Dichromate will be greatly missed on campus and will live on in all our memories.
