Dorm Olympics circa 1994 saw President Tom Kessinger running into the competition barefoot in an impromptu toga. Kessinger, a South Asian history scholar, was president of the College from 1988 to 1996. He was also a Haverford alum who started with the Class of 1963, interrupted his studies to join the Peace Corps, and graduated with the Class of 1965.
Come back tomorrow to see Dorm Olympics "Now."

Haverford attracts intellectually curious, independent learners who value honesty, collaboration, and above all, new ways of seeing and improving the world.
As you perform real-world research and immerse yourself in hands-on learning, you'll work side-by-side with professors who are at the top of their fields.
Our mascot—the Black Squirrel—has a genetic adaptation that gives it a bold, black coat. Join our distinctive community and stand out from the pack with your fellow Haverfordians.
Our campus has 200 acres of award-winning architecture and landscaping; more than 50 academic, athletic, and residential buildings; and a nationally recognized arboretum with 400 species of trees and shrubs, a 3.5-acre duck pond, gardens, and wooded areas.
The arboretum is holding two winter tree identification walks on January 7 and January 14, 2020. Photo by Caleb Eckert '17.
Wendy Raymond presided over her very first Dorm Olympics in early September clad in a simple white dress, and wearing a stack of Mardi Gras beads around her neck that she gave away to students. The crown on her head was made by students from Barclay. Beating out the blue Barclay team, and red South campus dwellers from HCA and Tritton, the green Gummere team won the day.
