Verbatim

In honor of the first major snowfall of 2011, alumni went to www.facebook.com/amherstcollege to share their best winter memories from the Fairest College. Our favorites:

“Foodfight in East in 1970 which was generated by the serving of subpar Chicken a la King and attitudes spawned by meteorological incarceration. The Harlan Fiske Stone portrait required professional restoration. The progenitor(s) washed chairs every day for the ensuing academic year.”

—John Lacey '73

Cold Weather, Cool Photos

One of the biggest stories on campus for winter 2011 seems to be the winter itself. The following gallery includes some of the many frosty photos recently submitted by members of the Amherst community to be considered for the campus intranet's Picture of the Day. (Click on each thumbnail to see the full-size photo.) Current students, faculty and staff can log in and submit more POTD photos here (of the ice and snow or anything else), and we'll add some of your new submissions to the gallery as the winter goes on.
