Carleton Then and Now

It's still and quiet around campus already. Since the College adheres to the World's Craziest Academic Calendar, students go home for the year before Thanksgiving and don't return until the new year. <old man voice>: "Must be nice!"</voice> Looking around the Colelge's website for a blurb on its history, I came across a great collection of paired photos showing various buildings in years gone by and (more or less) today. Here are photos of my office building, Laird Hall. The huge differences in the number and size of the trees in each before-and-after (especially this onel) makes me more hopeful that our little subdivision won't look quite so barren in a few years. Then again, I hope I'm not in the townhouse in sixty years.
