Ever wondered how the Record miraculously appears in print on Wednesday mornings? This week, the Record went to our printing press, near Albany International Airport, to see the process firsthand.
For the last issue of the Record this semester, Sports Executive Editor Arleny Flores ’28 sat down with graduating members of last year’s Record’s management team to discuss their retirement from the Record and memories from their time leading the paper. In spring 2025, Max Billick ’26 served as editor-in-chief. In the fall, Haley Zimmerman ’26 served as editor-in-chief, with Aliya Huprikar ’26 and Inés Garcia ’26 as managing editors. This spring, Ellie Davis ’26.5 has served as editor-in-chief. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Four faculty members are retiring from the College. The Record invited each of them to share a photo, their favorite class they have taught at the College, and any wisdom or advice for the community.
Today, students spend the first weekends of March enjoying the last ski days of the year or fighting through an ever-growing stack of midterms. From 1901 to 1914, however, students at the College spent one weekend at the beginning of March consumed by deceit, theft, and violence. This week, the Record looks back on the Cane Contest, a tradition that would never fly today. Read on to hear about a game of class rivalry, in which students communicated by fireworks and telegraphs, hired private detectives, and often took out their animosity through physical altercation.
From Albania to Zimbabwe, the College is home to students from all over the globe. But how do students from all corners of the world discover the Purple Valley?
Spring has finally sprung in the Berkshires, but not all plants are meant to flower here. This exclusive article with Professor of Biology Joan Edwards dives into the native and invasive flora currently blooming in the purple valley.
The isolation of the Berkshires is nothing compared to Deep Springs College, a tight-knit student run institution in California. This week, the Record spoke to the Ephs and professors with connections to Deep Springs to understand the unique environment the school has to offer.
Ever wished your professor could come with you to Snar? This week, the Record spoke to professors about Baxter Hall's Snack Bar, where students and professors could mingle in a shared space.
Each week, the Record (using a script in R) randomly selects a student at the College for our One in Two Thousand feature, excluding current Record board members. This week, Mayreli Tejeda-Rodriguez ’29 discussed finding her friends, participating in the Summer Science Program, and her love for embroidery. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Two College alums, Geraldine Shen ’01 and Ashley Weeks Cart ’05 have opened Gather, a new yarn studio just above TD Bank on the third floor of 57 Spring St. This week the Record covered the store's opening and community-oriented philosophy.
