Be Sure to Check Out Wednesday's Congressional Record

Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed this resolution by a recorded vote of 423-0; it recognizes the women's lacrosse team's NCAA championship.


Rep. Mike Castle '61 (R-Del.) spoke about the resolution on the House floor, at some point cutting his prepared remarks to say, "in short, Hamilton College is the finest college in the United States."


If it says so in the Congressional Record, it must be true?

Constitution Day Lecture

On Wednesday, September 17 at 7:30 PM in the chapel, Judge Jeffrey S. Sutton will deliver a public lecture in honor of Constitution Day. The lecture is sponsored by the Alexander Hamilton Institution.

Dinner for the Government Imperium

Government students and faculty gathered on Monday, May 5 for a sumptuous repast and a thoughtful keynote address by Professor Peter Katzenstein of Cornell University.

Continental Marriages

Of all Hamilton and Kirkland graduates who are married, about 16% are married to a Hamilton or Kirkland graduate. But that includes those who graduated prior to the creation of Kirkland in 1968 or the merger in 1978. For post-merger grads, I estimate the percentage to be 20-25%.
