In particular, though they want to be reassured that the Co...

Belleau is getting ready to make gelato for the Lee Snack Bar and the main ingredients, milk and cream, come from High Lawn, just 30 miles from campus.

With its traditional, white clapboard siding. Offset by sleek, black solar panels, its rooflines pitched to maximize rainwater collection, and its newly planted gardens promising food for people, wildlife, birds and insects, it’s impossible to miss the Class of 1966 Environmental Center.That’s the point. In fact, it’s possible Williams won’t meet the standards initially. LBC is a learning process as much as it’s about living within our means, says Mike Evans, assistant director of the Zilkha Center&#...

A Time of Transition | Comment | Spring 2013 | Williams Magazine

http://magazine.williams.edu///comment

A Time of Transition. A Time of Transition. The illustrations for A Time of Transition (fall 2012) were not only beautiful magnificent would be a far better word! The article was thoughtful, and as proud as I am as a Williams graduate, the story reminds me of how great Williams College really is a place for many to attend in our very diverse world. Thanks for being the Williams College of today as it was in the past, a truly great institution of learning. Sandy Singer ’47, Evanston, Ill. A KIND of Justice.
