Campus News

I realized that while I've used these posts as an opportunity to whine and talk to cats, I've never shown you the campus I've been doing those things on all year. Today I took a walk around, and snapped some shots of my current home. I start and end my days here. I live in Birks Grange Village, which is mostly first year students. The Kenyon-Exeter program is spread out amongst the buildings, so you do have a chance to really create your own space with your flatmates. If you're interested in…

The Waiting

By J.D. Rothman

That's So Kenyon From Kenyon News - 10 years ago

Once college applications are completed, students will find themselves in the midst of a lull period, during which high school seniors experience an interminable limbo while still feeling pressure to keep up their grades. This period can be even worse for parents, who need to remain cheery even though they can no longer “make things right” for their kids….all while contemplating aging, separation and financial doom. If you're the parent of a senior, you can feel productive during this time by selling…

The Seagull at Bolton

Arts & Culture From Kenyon News - 10 years ago

Complex love triangles and family drama collide at the Bolton Theater this week with the performance of The Seagull by Anton Chekhov. The production by the Kenyon College Dance and Drama Club is at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

Sights and Sounds

Student Life From Kenyon News - 10 years ago

Kenyon offers students more than 120 clubs and organizations from archery to men’s and women’s Ultimate, but only one has its own building. The Horn Gallery as a building holds a bit of College lore. In 1998, the building was deemed outmoded and rickety (the legend is the whole building was supported by a baseball bat wedged under the main beam). It was demolished in 1999. Today’s Horn Gallery – that sits on the same spot as the original – opened in 2000. It now features an art space, practice…
