Someone then gives a boisterous rendition of one of Burns' poems, "Address to a Haggis." When he recites the line about cutting the food ("An cut you up wi ready slight...
Andrew Wyeth, who died today at 91 at his home in Chadds Ford, Pa., was the great problem of American modern art.

McDowell ’12, one of the few freshmen lucky enough to attend, left the dean’s kitchen with more than just a full stomach. “It was nice to see behind the scenes,” she said. Dingman’s comfortable accommodations allowed for some hands-on assistance from a few courageous volunteers. The chefs demonstrated the “claw method” used to cut onions, which entails using...
