Within five minutes of speaking to the curator of the exhibition, Lisa Pon (a Ph.D. candidate in the History of Art and Architecture department), I realized that my ignorance at Prints and Privileges was largely self-induced. If only I had read the short descriptions which accompany each piece attentively, I would have learned so much. If you survey the exhibit as it was intended to be seen, patiently looking at each piece in order and reading all of the corresponding text.

...recently, Margaret Cimino '87's tragic accident would have avoided. Prior to an important CFI, playoff game, the goalposts were coated heavily with Vaseline.
