St. Mary's College is a top sailing school

Amazing technique, really love the way they don't let challenges like "sand" get in their way, they (Nike) just do it

That's what the liberal arts is all about, confronting challenges, like sand, head on

"Environmentally Responsible College"

"St. Mary's College was recently ranked by the Princeton Review as one of the 322 most environmentally responsible colleges in the U.S. and Canada. This recognition was awarded to the College for its use of renewable energy sources, recycling and conservation practices, and environmental course offerings."

The Water Trampoline Needs an Upgrade

I found this image on Reddit.  I think the Special Carryover Fund should be spent entirely on this monolith.

Changing Face of Route 5

Check out this wonderful image longtime reader "KC" dug up recently.  The top image is from awhile ago when SMCM was St. Mary's Female Seminary, while the bottom image was taken within the past year.  Look at all the foliage/land/lack of erosion/lower water levels on the top image!  What a difference a few decades can make [actually upon closer inspection it is hard to determine where exactly on Route 5 the top photo was taken, it looks like it was taken closer to the area where the River Center currently is, so this may be more indicative of the land there, but I think there was still a lot more land here than there is today]. 


Cool stuff.  I found some nice photos that indicate the massive erosion at The Point [which I may have posted already???] that I will post at some point.

SOMEONE DO THIS WITH ME!


Do you see this! Do you see how awesome the 70s was here! Canoe fights! We need to get some bamboo and bundle shirts around the bamboos and fight. Via this link

UPDATE: Talked with Mike Brown 09' about this a bit. He says "Mike Ironmonger the old head of the waterfront. When he came into the job, students were doing that stuff, and he banned it and started the windsurfing and rec. sailing in its place. Greatest storyteller known to man, and a more apt character for the song "What do you do with a drunken sailor" has never existed. Ask around those from the waterfront, and you shall be regaled with hilarious anecdotes. Never doubt their veracity." Interesting! If anyone has any stories of his or about him, leave them in the comments.
