Great (Hall) Celebrations
Peirce Great Hall has been the scene of countless dances, gatherings, wedding receptions, and other celebrations since its opening in 1929. In this scene from 1938, students and their guests dance to the sounds of Red Nichols on a dance weekend.
Although Peirce Hall is in the midst of a major renovation and expansion, the Great Hall will be little changed from its earliest years. To celebrate the opening of the renovated and enlarged Peirce and Dempsey halls, the Office of Alumni and Parent Programs is asking you to submit your photos of Great Hall celebrations throughout the years. Selected photos will be displayed during the building's upcoming dedication ceremony. Post your photos at alumni.kenyon.edu, or send them to us directly. Contact Jill Shriver in the Office of Alumni and Parent Programs at shriverj@kenyon.edu.
Post-fiftieth Alumni Gather in Gambier
Fifty-seven alumni and their guests from the classes of 1952, 1947, 1942, and 1937 gathered for their post-fiftieth reunion in Gambier last April. Alumni spent an evening with President S. Georgia Nugent, attended classes, and met Kenyon students and faculty--and even spent a little time on McBride Field.
The reunion's honored alumnus was John W. Bingham Jr. '37, who traveled from Foley, Alabama, to Gambier by car with his dog Pardy. To recognize Bingham's longtime loyalty, President Nugent offered him an all-expenses-paid trip for his next journey to Kenyon--if he promises to fly.
