Barnard recreates event no one cares about
Recently, during our usual scouring of the Barnard Vimeo channel, we stumbled upon some (perplexing) new footage of a Barnard’s once heralded reproduction of the Greek games. With the cost of building another Parthenon too high and the abundant Barnard animal activists blockading any attempt at live sacrifices, it seems that the administration circa 1927 decided this would be the best way to honor Athena. While it remains unknown how often these festivities occurred, Spectrum is fairly certain the tradition met its unfortunate end long before the introduction of color film.

And if that isn’t enough to get you excited about Barnard’s rich history, you can find plenty more classic footage on the Barnard College Archives Vimeo channel. There you’ll find an excerpt from a Barnard documentary, as well a video called “Barnard Camp.” Not sure what the latter is about, but the name sounds an awful lot like “Band Camp.”
the Greek games were alive and well in 1959; I delivered the invocation.
I’ve been looking fowrrad to the book. I am a type 2 diabetes and was hoping for new insights and suggestions that I could anve4nda.ff6rklaringarna is good, but nothing new if you read up on terms. The program consists primarily of eliminating all animal products, and reducing the use of oil (and peanut butter). In fact, for me, a vegan diet, a switch are not willing to do. I expected more boken.Betyg: 2 / 5
Where was that awesome fountain?
Such cynicism. I care very much! It’s fabulous.
It’s really great that people are sharing this infromaiotn.
wbjderooynohnny on March 7, 2008 Yeah, we knew it was messed up before we even opened it oh well. They still sold tickets to the, apparently paid for back in 1957, event! $20 a pop to watch a rusted pile of crap be raised from a hole that caused traffic delays and required lots of construction to fix.Yay
This one time…at Barnard Camp…
PS Nilkanth, you should really just write all posts about Barnard. From underwear to under appreciated traditions.

I’m sure people would care about the games if they were conducted in a more authentic manner: with naked atheletes
