Gold chairs, blue tablecloths, academic regalia, and towers of dessert—Tuesday night's First-Year Banquet marked the ninth anniversary of the Johns Hopkins University tradition formerly known as High Table. It took place in the Ralph S. O'Connor Recreation Center.

The event, which borrows from Oxford and Cambridge dining traditions, provides a unique opportunity for faculty, administrators, and students to interact outside of the classroom.
