EcoNews
Martha Ellen Wingfield's Environmental Studies class is performing an energy audit on campus.
The class has designed their own procedure for collecting the data, which is completely original research. They have split into groups to cover the entire campus - counting lightbulbs and finding out wattages. Once they've finished collecting the data, they'll compile it, calculate the school's carbon footprint from lighting and summarize the project in a final scientific paper. |

How far would you go in order to create your art?

American Literature Students and the Thoreau Challenge
by Molly Newman, Humanities Faculty
When Henry David Thoreau moved to a small cabin on the banks of Walden Pond, what did he hope to discover? Never content with mediocrity, Thoreau hoped to find nothing less than the meaning of life: "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."
157 years later, my American Literature class considered Thoreau's endeavor with a healthy mixture of suspicion and reverence.
