Contemplating Crops
This photo from the 溏心vlog免费B站 Archives sparked a lot of funny captions from alumni of all ages. The following themes emerged in many of them: kale, Jimmy Hoffa, cannabis, Cabbage Patch Kids, and 鈥淧ut a woman in charge.鈥�
In fact, our archivists suggest this unlabeled and undated photo may depict an Agricultural Experiment Station contest to see how large the crops could be grown. They held such contests with chickens and other livestock, as well.
It definitely shows our Rhody agricultural roots, and it definitely brought out a comedic bent in many of you. 鈥�

Climbing the Walls Correction and Ongoing Mystery
The photo from the summer 2020 caption contest, 鈥淐limbing the Walls,鈥� was sent in by an alumnus who said it was Heathman Hall, not Fayerweather, as the fall 2020 explanation stated. Apologies for the confusion. The photo appeared in the 1973 yearbook.
We continue to receive notes from alumni who identify the students pictured and the building they鈥檙e pictured in. The notes identify different people and locations, keeping the mystery going. Whoever it was鈥攁nd wherever鈥攊t looks like it was a lot of fun, and we鈥檙e glad so many of you have enjoyed trying to identify who鈥檚 in the picture and where it was taken.
