of the most heated rivalries in all of college sports - between
St. Lawrence and Clarkson in hockey, of course - became a team effort
that benefited local health-care organizations. A St. Lawrence sorority

for a good cause and raised $2,000. Read

 Science Project: On Schedule
and On Budget: The Sarah Johnson Redlich '82 Hall of
Science is on schedule and on budget one-third of the way through
the construction process. All steel has been erected, the rooftop
penthouses that house air handling equipment are in place ready,
the concrete floors are 75% poured.
The building is temporarily sheltered with polyurethene material
to preserve heat needed for the pouring of the decks (floors) and
other work. The most visible activity will come in the next couple
of weeks when the cranes return to hoist the very heavy air handling
equipment to the roof. See a collection of new photos taken from
external views and inside the site at our Photo

Sesquicentennial
News: Take Our Two Surveys Today!:
The May issue of St. Lawrence, the University's quarterly
magazine, will have two feature articles that you, the readers,
can help shape! We want to know your views on these two topics:
Alumni and students: We often and very appropriately
recognize outstanding faculty mentors, but less often pause to honor
those administrators and staff who also play an important role in
your lives. Who
are, or have been, the most influential non-faculty mentors?
and
Students, faculty, staff and alumni: What's
the best of (almost) everything at St. Lawrence? This
is an unscientific poll of your views on the the great courses,
the best food, the wonderful places, and the honored traditions
at St. Lawrence.
