Speaking of the season...
What do you get when you put excellent engineers on the same campus as able artists (and brainy bakers)? You get these pictures, from Homewood's holiday gingerbread house competition.

Alert student -----> incarcerated crook

That's just one of the insights in this SAIS professor's new book about 200 years of battles along the Great Warpath from Albany to Montreal. Fascinating stuff. Here's a Q&A with the author. |

When mankind shouted "Eureka!" (in print)
From the heliocentric solar system to gravity to the double helix, the books, papers and journal articles that announced humanity's greatest "ah-hah!" moments are on display in one place: the university's George Peabody Library. |
Library of silly walks
OK, more from the George Peabody Library, but this one is totally without intellectual merit or redeeming social value. Just for fun. But the library sure looks great! |
Sports Beat
