Hangin' with the Blue Crabs
By Joanne Cavanaugh Simpson
Take one boatload of lively 13-year-olds. Add a dash of sun, three parts saltwater, an armful of marshgrass--and you've got a summer of discovery.

Divine Motives
By Dale Keiger
Why did King Louis IX, by all accounts a wise man, commit his nation to a crusade that was doomed to fail? Professor Dan Weiss looked to art to find the answer.

Musings: Kicking off the millennial revelry... artisan insights from a butler's tomb... the Jubilee Year revisited

Great Coed-spectations

No one was prepared for what would happen when the first coeds arrived at Homewood in the fall of 1970--least of all the women themselves.
