In late March, residents of apartments on Crescent Street received a mailing from Trinity College stating that they must relocate next semester as the College had purchased the buildings. Residents' landlords confirmed, notifying residents they would not be able to renew their leases for the 2010-2011 academic year because Trinity College now officially holds the lease to the apartments.
Over 1.1 million people in 64 cities and towns across Conn. now can recycle containers made from No. 3 - No. 7 plastics. As of this past Saturday, May 1, residents of the towns whose recyclables go to the Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority's Mid-Connecticut Project (CRRA) will be able to recycle all plastic food and beverage containers, not just those made from No.
The semester is winding down, final exams are upon us, and this, my friends, is the last issue of The Trinity Tripod for the 2009-2010 school year. While for many of you this may be a welcome signal of the impending summer vacation, for me this last issue as Editor-in-Chief is a bittersweet ending to a great semester.
Joan Didion tells us that it is easy to see the beginnings of things, and harder to see the ends. Our Trinity careers have an official end, of course: for my class, that end is in a couple weeks. It seems to me, though, that now (and maybe this is just me) that we are going through the motions.
Friday night the Trinity College Department of Music presented the Trinity College Choir and members of the Hartford Symphony Orchestra for their sublime performance of "Festival Mass," featuring Messe en l'honneur du Saint-Sacrement, op. 103, by Joseph Jongen.
Walking around campus it is difficult to not notice the many gifts given by past graduating classes and alumni. The plaques are everywhere, from the flower pots near the upper entrance to the Library to trees by the Bistro, pews in the Chapel to the Chapel itself.
This past Sunday, May 1, at noon, the Trinity College women's lacrosse team defeated Bates College in the first round of the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) tournament. Trinity, seeded No. 1 in the division, has enjoyed remarkable success this season, winning a record 12 games in the regular season, and losing just twice, to Tufts and Amherst.
When I first moved to New York for med school, the most salient aspect of "the real world" that I noticed was the shocking unattractiveness of the people around me. Like you, I enjoyed four years at Trinity surrounded by only handsome people. The unfortunate truth you will have to face upon your graduation is that not every place is populated exclusively with beautiful people, as Trinity is.
