1927 was my grandfather’s graduating class. He was always proud of the gift his class bestowed to the campus, and returned to visit for many reunions before his passing (age 87). For their 50th reunion, the class also raised a sizeable amount for that time. When my dad passed in 2017, we found my grandfather’s old reunion cap with “27” on it. I came to work at �ֲ��ý, and have felt a family connection ever present through the “Mouthpiece”. It was great to see the reconstruction work being made with more durable modern materials (it should remain standing for a much longer time). I have set a goal to witness the commencement of the Class of 2027 (this year’s incoming 1st Year class), standing by the “Mouthpiece” while wearing my grandfather’s very old cap!

Great work at keeping this landmark for all of us!

Tom Winslow is a true artist! Great job, guys–it looks wonderful. I love it that you could combine the original recycled bits with the sturdy new ant-proof structure. Wonder where that ant colony migrated to…beware, Hathorn and Parker!

In March, 2015, upon reading on the athletics website that Ahmed Abdel Khalek’16 had won the College Squash Association National Championship and that winning the title meant that �ֲ��ý would be charged with keeping and displaying a 3-foot tall trophy which dated back to 1928, Tom emailed me to tell me that he would be building a proper trophy case for the trophy (in his spare time). What an amazing and unnecessary gesture. A few weeks later, Tom’s beautifully crafted 6-foot trophy case arrived at 56 Alfred A. Plourde Parkway, where it still stands today…housing a smaller replica of that National Championship trophy Abdel Khalek won in both 2015 and 2016. Kudos, Tom (and Tom)!
