Studies show that you’ll only spend 1.7 seconds looking at this post, and that odds are you probably won't read this caption. With this in mind, we want to use this space to list our favorite golf slang terms: wormburner, banana ball, barkies, knee-knocker, and frog hair. Pretty great, huh?

Alumni, parents, and friends who live in the Boston area recently gathered in Burlington, MA for a morning with Wheaton College. Mark Hanchett ’66 said this about the event, “It was a relaxed morning of getting to know other alumni in the area with important updates on campus happenings and initiatives, wrapped up with a fabulous speaker highlighting the many fascinating holdings of the Wheaton archives.”

Shout out to Head Archivist of Wheaton Archives and Special Collections, Katherine Graber M.A. ’12 for showcasing some of the one-of-a-kind treasures in Archives and Special Collections!
