#FBF: Gary Granger, director of community safety, discovered a trove of Olde Reed dog tags formerly required of all “Reed Dogs,” according to the old(e) policy. He has a limited supply, so if you’d like one for your pet, please drop by his office at 28 West (while supplies last)!

Gary Granger is first to sit on the reupholstered antique couch rescued from a slow death in ODB. Come see Gary and the Community Safety team at 28 West a hang out on the couch!
#TBT: this cool couch was a fixture in Winch during my time, so glad to see it saved! –Robin, class of ‘97

Apparently theses are due soon.
I interviewed an alum who’s done a lot of interviews with Reedies for a paper about Reed, and he literally said that there is an inferiority complex built into the set up of the college. Reed was built as the “ideal college” and is also incredibly rigorous. The combination of the two has...

Robert Palladino
Sandy, OR - December, 2012:
Robert taught Steve Jobs’ calligraphy class at Reed College. Jobs credited Robert with inspiring his decision to incorporate fonts into the very first Mac.
"When we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it’s likely that no personal computer would have them."
Happy First Day, Reedies!
Good luck, and have a fantastic year! We’re rooting for you.
Love,
Olde Reed

In the winter of 1996–97, a band of Reed students including Justin Campbell ’99and Colin McCluney ’99 took the Doyle Owl on a road trip to California. On a whim, they stopped by Steve Jobs’ house in Palo Alto and rang the bell. They were floored when Steve emerged, admired the Owl, talked about Reed, and posed for this photo in Justin’s parents’ minivan. “He was really nice about it,” Justin says.

"...Pick Your Major Carefully. English Literature. Spanish. History. Those all require a huge amount of time and won’t get you a job. Think Econ. No papers. No labs. No bullshit. For the most part, its [sic] one scranton [sic] test at the end of the semester and you’re finished..."
I think this is exactly the mentality Reed has been fighting against since, what, 1912?
That whole post is really the best endorsement I've seen recently of the classical liberal arts education.

“You’re at a school, that lets you be you. I’ve been to a lot of colleges… and they’re not like this.” -Richard Simmons on Reed College
Yup. You heard that right. Richard Simmons has been to Reed College. This is just a clip (there’s a much longer video on YouTube, too) of the event, which happened during the Gray Fund’s annual “end of the semester" surprise in 2012.
This only happened last year, but Richard Simmons is old (olde even), so it counts.
The Art of Notetaking
Since Reed does not have a nuclear engineering department (or any engineering department), the staff comes from a broad selection of academic majors, primarily in the sciences but including nearly every major—from English and philosophy to psychology, religion, economics, and political science. According to one astonishing statistic, the Reed Research Reactor has more female reactor operators than all the other research reactors in the world…combined.
Do yourself a favor and read this Atlas Obscura article about the world’s only nuclear reactor operated by liberal arts undergraduates. (via wnycradiolab)
