South
South is the newest dorm on campus, a glass-lined treasure trove of light-filled rooms, multi-level houses and grassy inner courtyards. It’s just across the Midway from the main quads (by the Law School), and shares its dining hall with Burton-Judson. There’s a buzzing social atmosphere inside the hallways - they have a big house-lounge culture, and also also also a snack mart in the basement. Yum.
Beauxbatons French Academy
New and shiny, blue and silver, glassy and pretty. Kind of like France? Except this isn’t just a place for girls like Beauxbatons, and they don’t run around their gorgeous dining hall like they’re skipping. The food’s good too.
yeah I live here, nbd

Yesterday was beautiful, sunny and warm. A UChicago student was spotted sitting in a tree on the quad, and this punny exchange ensued…

69 years ago today, Fermi oversaw the first artificial self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction on the squash court under Stagg Field’s stands.
Excerpt from our Jan/68 issue:
The testimony of sculpture
The following remarks by director of Midway Studios and associate professor of art Harold Haydon were made at the unveiling of “Nuclear Energy,” (pictured above) the bronze sculpture by Henry Moore commemorating the achievement of Enrico Fermi and his associates of the first self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction at Staff Field on December 2, 1942.
“By being here in a public place the sculpture ‘Nuclear Energy’ becomes part of Chicago, and the sculptor an honored citizen, known not just to artists and collectors of art, but to everyone who pauses here in the presence of the monument, because the artist is inextricably part of what he has created, immortal through his art. … Some works of art have meaning for all mankind and so defy time, persisting through all hazards; the monument to the atomic age should be one of these.”

A weekend was spent fast asleep, recovering from the early mornings of Kuvia. But do we regret it?
Not when we got to salute the sunrise at Promotionary Point, we don’t.

Yeah I helped make these for study break. And stole much cookie dough on the way.
I ate these and they were super good.
