The Committee for Environmental Responsibility (CER) was created by the students, faculty, and staff of Haverford College, and founded on our socially responsible principles. CER sponsored the annual "Do It In The Dark" energy-saving competition, during which the campus saved 4,885 kWh overall, more than twice last year's total.

“Students performing, 1976” was the only information provided for this photo from the College Archives. But the white costumes and the bells strapped to their shins suggest that they’re doing a Morris dance—a form of English folk dance dating to the 15th century.
Come back tomorrow to see student performance “Now”.
