The following arrangement was spotted in Furnald—which may we puh-lease just emphasize is NOT Carman—this past weekend. We’ve got to hand it to the guy who made this sign: you’ve done excellent work with the shading on the giant arrow. Nothing says “clean up after yourself” like some classic light-to-dark 3D action.  

Yesterday we joined our country to remember the events of September 11, 2001. Bwog was impressed, inspired, and engaged by media coverage of the 10-year anniversary. If you missed yesterday’s headlines, here are a few pieces worth reading. New Yorkers visited a Bryant Park memorial featuring 2,573 vacant folding chairs—one for each life lost at […]

At 3:05am, the comment below from “Anonymous” appeared on our nickname contest post. Soon after, Dean Valentini (unsolicited) confirmed in an e-mail to Bwog that this comment is authentic and the offer genuine. Yes, this really is the Dean posting. I think a Milano sandwich is way too small a prize for the winner of […]

Members of the Columbia community gathered on Low steps this morning to remember 9/11. Following brief remarks by Jewelnel Davis, the University Chaplain, participants placed white flowers in the nearby fountains. Other speakers then recalled the names of Columbia alumni and family who were lost on September 11, 2001. Everyone sat in silence for 13 […]

The Columbia Republicans and Democrats teamed up to bring the 9/11 Never Forget Project to campus. Students gathered last night to place flags in the grass along College Walk. The 2,997 flags commemorate the lives tragically lost ten years ago.

Reading, writing, and talking can help us process the devastating attacks of ten years ago without submitting to fear and despair. Below are some reflections on 9/11 we find especially moving. An unexpected empathy swelled after 9/11, and we hope on the tenth anniversary to recover this compassion. Sketchbook, Maria Kalman, The New Yorker: From […]

Keep your eyes open for the September issue of The Blue & White, coming soon to campus. Until then, Bwog will honor our heritage/amorous affair with our mother magazine by posting highlights of the upcoming issue online. Among the treats to look forward to: a litany of bizarre and outdated freshman hazing rituals, a conversation with a luminary […]

Bwog really and truly received this email from a curious freshperson. Dear Bwog, I’m new here, CC ’15, and I was wondering whether it is normal that there is a stench in Butler’s 4th floor near the elevators so terrible it is as if the books themselves have died and now reek of rottingbook flesh.
