A couple weeks back, the Internet (i.e. IvyGate) blew up a list of this year’s Sachems, to much discussion of how much secrecy exactly is involved and needed. Chief of Staff Writers Julia Goodman tells you why, despite their philanthropy and goodwill, Columbia senior societies neither have nor need full secrecy. It’s been a few […]

…and it’s on this kid’s sneakers! In case your eyes don’t have the zooming power of a microscope, these rad kicks read “Columbia 2017” near the heel. We can only hope there’s some sort of irony involved. New spring fashion?
So you probably missed the blood moon last night (like we did), but you can still check out some awesome pictures (and find out what a blood moon actually is).
