Don't Know Much About History...

OK, not really. I am a Music History teacher, after all. But I am looking forward to hearing a bit more about ConverseHistory from Dr. Jeff Willis, as he takes us on our historical tour of the campus. We'll be meeting on the front porch of Wilson. If you need to be a few minutes late, look for us there or on front campus, which Dr. Willis says will be our first stop.

Our blog topic for this week will allow you to stretch your imagination a bit, Converse-style. Converse is an institution that really loves her traditions, both long-standing and relatively new. Thus, for your blog this week I'd like you to invent and describe a new tradition or revamp an old one for Converse College or any of her many parts (Petrie School, Athletics, First-year class, etc.) And yes, I realize that the phrase "new tradition" is somewhat oxymoronic. C'est la vie.

As usual, blogposts are due by 11:00 pm on Friday night. You might actually want to wait until after our tour to type up your blog, though--the tour might give you some good ideas.

So I'll see you on Tuesday in front of Wilson. Dr. Willis tells me that we'll also be visiting Twichell, Dexter, and the cemetery...
