...very happy about winter. House common spaces all over campus are adorned with festive "winter" decorations. House dining halls are playing host to "winter" feasts. House committees are organizing "winter" caroling. I, for one, am confused. Since when is the onset of short, dreary, cold days, and downright frigid nights, a cause for rejoicing?

Along these lines, a friend suggested that he write an opera based upon Ethan Frome--Edith Wharton's tragic account of forbidden love set in frigid Starkfield, Mass.

Every year the clubs are subjected to the same tired assaults on the petty, ill-reasoned grounds. As a result, those being punched feel compelled to stage embarrassing displays of moral incertitude and false humility, while campus publications chime...
