Haverford Headlines


  • Shakespeare in Hollywood is a festival of mistaken identity, unrequited love, chaos, and confusion recalling the days of the great“screwball comedies,” and is the latest work by prolific playwright Ken Ludwig '72, author of the Tony-nominated Lend Me a Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Twentieth Century, and Crazy for You, which won the 1992 Tony for Best Musical. The rollicking, literate comedy had its Philadelphia premiere at the Wilma Theatre in December.
  • Last month, members of Haverford's Under One Sky and Bryn Mawr's Mixed Company organizations—both committed to providing a welcoming environment for multiracial and multiethnic students—delivered over 3,200 comment cards to the Department of Education as the culmination of the“One Box Isn't Enough” (OBIE) effort.
  • But while in high school, Haverford freshman Pritika Gupta added one more activity to her list: working as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) for Swarthmore's Fire Department.
  • Haverford women's soccer, which participated in its first-ever NCAA postseason tournament action, and Haverford men's cross country, which turned in the best-ever performance of any Pennsylvania institution at the NCAA nationals, provided some of the sweetest moments in a season made even more special by the opening of the Douglas B. Gardner '83 Integrated Athletic Center in October.
  • A look back on Dr. Stephen J. Lippard '62's career in science and academia, which led to his win of a National Medal of Science.
