‘Cac Admissions Facebook Group Roundup
Remember the “official class of 20_ _” facebook group where SUPER EXCITED incoming freshmen wrote things that, most often, caused you to face-palm? If your memory is a bit clouded, you’re in luck. A new website called accepted2017.com has compiled all the ridiculous facebook posts of over-eager college newbies from all over the country. The [...]
Jimmy Jones Steps Down – A Student Perspective
This year has not been great for Trinity’s reputation, and it’s been even worse for the leadership’s. Earlier today, President Jimmy Jones sent out a campus-wide email about his plans to “step down” early, much to the surprise of students. Jones will retire July 2014 rather than seeing his contract through to 2015. Rumblings of [...]
Trinity Women’s Lax continues to dominate
While most Bantams have kissed their social lives goodbye and begun the search for a finals hideaway spot, the Trinity Women’s Lacrosse team still has plenty of reason to celebrate.

The first NESCAC Swimming and Diving Championship was held in 2001, and, [...]
Dining Staff: Nemo’s Unsung Heroes
Nemo may have sent the state of Connecticut into emergency mode, but not Trinity. Those in bed nursing hangovers from Black Bear Thursday rejoiced with a drink as emails from professors cancelling class came pouring in. As the first flurries touched down on the Long Walk, makeshift sleds were created, creative outerwear inspired by the [...]
Amherst Joins 21st Century Recycling
As of February 1st, Amherst College stepped up its green game and turned over to single-stream recycling, joining its fellow ‘Cac counterparts at Bowdoin, Hamilton, Trinity and Wesleyan. What is “single stream” recycling anyway? How could throwing a bunch of different materials in the same bin be a better, more sustainable method? When papers, [...]
Yuck Fale
This could get messy. (For those of you who don’t avidly follow college Squash see here for a bit of context.) Note 1 – Our team is very international. Note 2 – Sad internet forums actually support the archaic use of “revenge” as a verb.
