Lost and Found

There's a myth out there that in 1938, a dour Georgia O'Keeffe came to the College decked out in drab clothes and grudgingly received an honorary degree, refusing even to speak at the ceremony. Ann Madonia, the Curator of Collections at the Muscarelle Museum of Art, and the museum's staff would like to shed some light on that dusty legend.

High-profile women to visit campus

Beneficial Talent

The Accidentals will be performing at the fifth annual benefit concert for the Michael Coon Memorial Scholarship Endowment, which will be held on Thursday, Feb. 1 at Phi Beta Kappa Hall. The show starts at 7:30, and will also feature the Gentlemen of the College, Improvisational Theater and the Stairwells. Tickets cost $5 and are available in the University Center lobby next week and at PBK the night of the event. Proceeds benefit the endowment established by Michael Coon's parents after his accidental death in 1995, when he drowned while swimming with friends at Cape Hatteras. He was a popular government major who would have graduated with the Class of '96. Heavily involved on campus, he was active in the Russian Club, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and International Relations Club. He was also a tutor for the College Partnership for Kids, a eucharistic minister at St. Bede's Parish and a staff writer for The Flat Hat.
