At one point when Bridget is making a romantic declaration, she apologizes, since “I know there’s no music playing and it’s not snowing.” I don’t think I’m giving much away when I say the movie ends with snow and music. It’s a Christmas Card-type scene at a church with Bridget Jones reassuring us “I truly believe happiness is possible—even when you?...

Roxanna K. Myhrum ’05 has some ideas of her own. “Maybe it was those snow penis guys. They’re really into public art installations,” she says, referring to the notorious snow sculpture made two years ago by members of the men’s crew team. Could they be alluding to the other gender’s genitalia with an obscure reference to Georgia O’ Keeffe’s flowers? That might be a stretch. Students may not have been responsible...
