The Final Bosses are in town
I have drifted off of a committee but got drafted for something - evidently, I'm no longer a faculty observer ('representative' would be much too strong for our role) at the Buildings & Grounds subcommittee of the board. Oh, well - interesting while it lasted. I can get back on that in a couple of years, perhaps. Meanwhile, someone responsible for keeping the spouses occupied noticed the topic I'm scheduled to cover for Parents' Weekend next week and asked if I'd do a version for the Board Spouses. I am always willing to talk about buildings. Is that a weakness? So I did the latest version of my song and dance about the Chapel, and it was fun (other than having to move the digital projection setup around the chapel to find a wireless hotspot so my laptop would work!).
The picture is from a postcard I scanned - postmarked 1907. Hobart and William Smith folks might notice the entire absence of the big tower connecting St. John's Chapel and Demarest.
