I dropped by the senior bench last Saturday morning - I dropped by the night before but there was NO light for photos - not much better as you can see on Saturday!Yes, the Phi Delt pledges had painted the...

In a little under three weeks it will be Freshman Saturday - August 22, 2009. We'll welcome a new class of Wabash men (the Class of 2013!) and their families into the Wabash community. Seems like Commencement was just last...

As I went by the senior bench (no apparent change there) I thought I'd just do a quick look at the brand new Kappa Sig house. As you can see from the photo, it's ready to go. Landscaping done, blinds...

At some point over the weekend, the senior bench received a fresh coat of paint. That's kind of unusual for the summer - very common for the school year. The choice of paint colors, though, with black a predominant color,...

So, after seeing the Senior Bench in a paint "disarray" a few days ago, I decided to swing by with the camera to "see what I could see". I have to admit, my jaw dropped just a wee bit when...

Took this yesterday. Senior bench.Three thoughts (I know, a liberal arts guy should have about 10).1. The bench was somewhere in the "painting cycle" when the effort was washed away, so to speak, by one of the many storms we...

Overcast, rainy day on campus. Dreary. Senior bench painted a day or two ago by the brothers of Delta Tau Delta. No words today from here...supply your own please....

Sphinx Club alumni and current members celebrated the history of the Club at a reunion reception and dinner Saturday evening after the football game. Members in attendance spanned 6 generations. A special treat was the Sphinx Club paint scheme...

Last Saturday I dropped by the senior bench-no guards that morning. As you can see, the Lambda Chis had been there. The paint scheme is very interesting. We lost Patrick last year-a year when the new Lambda Chi pledge...

The senior bench - about 15 minutes ago. In the midst of finals, getting ready for Commencement or going home for the summer, you wouldn't expect this...but this is Wabash and Coach is a special person. Nothing else needs...

Senior bench...taken late last week. The sun was actually out. I guess I'm partial...it might show my advanced age. I like the multi-color paint jobs based upon fraternities and Wabash clubs/organizations. They offer a change of pace that's fun...

Now, you certainly haven't seen this much this past basketball season. Three starting seniors, all critical to our success, on the bench at the same time...Gary Simkus (32), Andrew Zimmer (52) and Earl Rooks (3). That's Dominique Thomas, a...

It's been a pretty rough last several days here. To say the least. Last week we lost Rod Helderman, one of our IT gurus. Rod was responsible for keeping our computers and printers running. Yep - a more than full...

I ventured out yesterday on campus with the camera - first time I was able to get a good shot of the senior bench since the snowstorm. One measure of a person's impact on this campus is how long their...

As has been the custom, one that has been practiced too many times in recent years, the senior bench gets a special paint job when we lose a student. After Han Jiang's tragic accident last week, his TKE brothers painted...

Saturday morning, 8:00 AM, November 5, 2005. Yesterday I reported the Bench was "owned" by the Kappa Sigs...it didn't take very long for the bench to change colors....

Friday, November 4, 2005. As of 8:00 AM, the Kappa Sigs "owned" the Senior Bench. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?...
