Then & Now: Student Performance Now

This homepage ran on Friday, December 2, 2016. Content and links may have changed.

The students performing in this photo are The Lighted Fools. The show featured a sketch about attempting to rent a tiger from the Philadelphia Zoo, said Benjamin Gutierrez ’14 (front and center), but what was going on in this scene, “no one can remember.”

Then and Now: Student Performance

“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”.

Cool Classes - “Eating and Identity”

"This class considers the way food practices and the discourses that surround them can unite families, consolidate ethnic identity, reinforce class boundaries, and even express gender." — Visiting Assistant Professor of Writing and Writing Fellow Elizabeth Blake

Our Cool Classes blog series highlights interesting, unusual, and unique courses that enrich the Haverford College experience.

The class sampled cookies from this year’s Family Circle election cookie contest contestants (Clinton’s oatmeal chocolate chip versus Trump’s star cookie). Photo: Patrick Montero.
