Some of you came to St. Lawrence to escape the crowded cities, some to take a semester in the Adirondacks, some for the name, some for your parents, many because it was the best choice left. Despite these differences, most of us share a story about coming to campus for the first time and feeling [...]
Edited by: PS LC AT Attention Seniors, Juniors, and anyone wanting to look into their future on or off St. Lawrence campus: Monday, September 19th, Graduate School Fair will be held in the Student Center, and I highly recommend that everyone who is free between 11am and 2pm goes.

Obama’s Country of Origin In Question. Is Obama a foreigner? Now that I have your attention, I’d like to make it explicitly clear that I do not buy this at all.
