A Dining Club For Scholars

|

Standing outside the Choate House, the simple building with a white clapboard exterior, simple cement walkway and forest green shutters, looks little more remarkable than a prototypical suburban home. Students and faculty alike scurry past. They hardly glance at it.

Boots and Rallies

|

The National Park Service awarded the mural national landmark status in 2013, Hood Museum interim director Juliette Bianco said at yesterday’s fourth annual “Manton Foundation Orozco Lecture.”
