Overseen on Overheard at UChicago
House meeting minutes, in the form of 95 theses, nailed to the doors of Snell-Hitchcock.
Of course, 95 theses is what I first thought it was. NERDERY.
I heart Rockefeller Chapel, where it began and ended for me.

C-Bench, University of Chicago, 1920s.
From 1903 to 1960 the C Bench was reserved for varsity athletes, and is now a common place for all students to sit between classes, or chalk up advertisements for their favorite club!
Flappers at the C-Bench! I love this! Now where are their cigarettes and liberal arts look of disdain?
Time to head back down the rabbit hole, friends: the textbook area at the new Seminary store is open and stocked with Winter Quarter textbooks. 5751 S. Woodlawn, as if you didn’t already know that Alice/Neo.
I really shouldn’t be attached to a bookstore like this, especially since it’s moved from its labyrinthine confines, but I am, Seminary Co-Op, I am!
UChicago invades Chicago!

Love my alma mater, but I’m glad I missed this Phoenixing stuff. Really. Glad. :o)

To demonstrate how well University of Chicago TV and movie characters mimic the real deal, we’ve plotted a sample of fakes on (what else?) a polar-coordinate chart.
Still with us? Each point is described by an ordered pair (r, Θ), where r is the radius from the center and Θ is the angle from the vertical axis. The higher r’s value (i.e., closer to the edge), the less believable the Maroon. High Θ values denote deadly serious characters. Low Θ indicates a character who’s intentionally funny; intermediate Θ denotes one unintentionally so. Check the polar-coordinate chart, and let us know which Maroons are missing and where they would land.
Ruh rΘ…
I can’t even begin to describe how grateful I am that I chose a university that is on a quarter system. All year, I watched my friends at semester schools toil through core classes or classes they just didn’t like for four, five months. Even with finals rapidly approaching (24 hours to go!), I’m…
I’m really gonna miss the quarter system myself. But somehow, I think I’ll be in school for a shorter period of time. But with the quarter system, anytime it’s done, you can go on vacation: Winter break! Spring break! Summer break!

I really can’t get enough of these old timey U of C SPORTS pics. I feel bad that as an alum, I was almost on the track team, but never went to one game.
