They returned to Baker for practice this morning and snapped another picture for comparison. In their words: YOSO […]

Here’s a sneak peek of the Autumn issue of The Blue & White, which will be out next week (damn you, Sandy!). One blustery October afternoon, approximately 60 students shuffle into 501 Schermerhorn for class. Some fiddle with their water bottles, others heave hefty copies of Constitutional Law, Sixth Edition out of their bags. President […]
Update, 5:40 pm: Barnard will also have class tomorrow. According to an email from Columbia’s Emergency Management Operations Team, we (undergrads and most grad students) have class tomorrow!
