Sustainability

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's mission is to educate our community about global environmental concerns, and to be a positive example for students at Haverford and other colleges to follow.

COOKING THE COLLECTION: Rice Pudding

The Library's Dig Into The Archives series recently took a look at historical recipes. We wondered what the food would taste like, so we created a series called Cooking the Collection on the Haverblog and on the college’s official Facebook page, featuring some of these old-timey sweets.  

This rice pudding is less sweet and firmer in texture than contemporary versions. Recipes have been modified with modern measurements and instructions, and have easy-to-follow, step-by-step videos. Photo: Patrick Montero.

Capturing the Campus Landscape

Haverford College Arboretum plant curator Martha J. Van Artsdalen's new book documents 175 years of the Arboretum's history.

Haverford College Arboretum features more than 200 historical photos of the Arboretum, some of which have never been published before.

1885 shot of College Lane from Lancaster Avenue shows a distant Barclay Hall with its original tower (lost in a fire in 1946). The campus was still an active farm, with cows and horses fenced in on the field to the right.

Then & Now: Formal Dance

At December’s Snow Ball—the closest thing to a formal dance you'll find these days on campus—Ash Khayami '16 and three other members of Haverford’s DJ collective Sound Machine provided the dance tracks.
