It’s Founders’ Day at Kenyon College! Each year’s first-year class plants a tree to symbolize growth, continuity, and a preservation of Kenyon’s campus environment. This year, the Class of 2020 named their tree Inigo Sequoia, after the character Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride. Then, each new student takes the Matriculation Oath and is invited to sign the College’s Matriculation Book, signed by every Kenyon student since 1841, including President Rutherford B. Hayes, Paul Newman, Allison Janney, Josh Radnor, and John Green.

Have you ever seen the sun sneakily glide into a room at 8:12 a.m.? Or how the morning mist hasn’t yet lifted from the trees and fields beyond, so the sun’s rays sit patiently behind the fog, waiting to beam down on you? Or when the rays finally do sneak in, how they are deep yellow and inescapable, even settling into the ice chips floating in your cup of orange juice?
