departments, thesis advisors, or to various campus organizations. Furnished with lightweight, mobile
tables and chairs, a room frequently used for faculty meetings can be quickly reconfigured for an
academic conference or a reception for a distinguished visitor. John LaGrua '52 Says: 2012-02-07

events, academic endeavors, and accomplishments by our current students, faculty, staff, and
alumnae are all highlighted in our campus news blog. If a student wishes to escape from the active
milieu, high-back lounge seating offers a degree of privacy for personal phone calls or intimate
conversation. Keep reading below to learn about senior carrel choosing. In the spring, our carrel
celebrated the completion of theses by hosting a party. Literature today has one very limited
narrative of what it means to age successfully and that means without disability or disease, which

Study rooms enclosed by Altos and Optos architectural walls create a quiet space with more privacy,
while the sliding Barn Door addresses space constraints. It is our pleasure to brag about current
students and alumnae in this bi-yearly publication. Our carrel was to be found on C Floor, deep in
the tomblike depths of Firestone Library. If you haven’t read the excellent novel “The Circle” by
Dave Eggers, it’s an excellent exploration and questioning of the supposed benefits of the digital
revolution, dramatized by the conflict between protagonist Mae and her ex-boyfriend, Mercer. It's a
perverse sort of nostalgia, to love something that many people associate with long, sweaty bouts of
thesis writing, but, well, there you are. But Firestone Library’s study carrels still evoke nostalgia in
alumni who spent countless hours toiling inside those metal walls. Jim Marketos '76 Says: 2012-02-
10 10:02:13 Learning that Firestone's metal carrels will be removed brings back fond memories of
senior year and C-11-J2, the carrel I shared with classmate and fellow medieval studies major
Charlene Cosman. Requests will not be taken over the phone or by email for carrels. If you have any
feedback to share on this topic, please either comment on a relevant post, or use our Ask Us form to

computers, the Internet, fax machines, and cellphones. I will also never forget the headphones to my
Sony Discman sending an electric shock over me if I accidentally touched both hands to metal (easy
to do as you might imagine) to the hysterical delight of my carrel-mate. Karn Griffen '57 Says: 2012-

system has created the most sickly population that’s every existed, not only physically, but also
mentally. These theses are made more accessible to students who are both interested in University
science research and who are looking to cite Wesleyan research for their own projects, bypassing the
longer archival system. Student Jenny Davis ’17 chose not to include her English thesis on
WesScholar, and student Thienthanh Trinh ’17, who wrote a thesis in the Biology Department,
explained that a potential reason for delaying accessibility on WesScholar could be interest in
publishing one’s thesis in a journal. Standing-height tables invite passersby to stop and perch on a

open for all students at any time. Wesleyan art galleries are open M-F 1-5PM and on Wesleyan
Market Saturdays from 10AM-2PM. The Ezra and Cecile Zilkha Gallery is open Tuesdays, from
12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Wednesday through Sunday, from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. And, might

students are registered for carrel space, which also includes rooms that hold up to seven people.
Excellent study space (nearly offices!), though we did not have typewriters there - never mind
something called laptops -- or (cell) phones. This includes first editions of many books, and a
collection of artist’s books, which are unique, hand-bound books made by Wesleyan students and
affiliates. Mine had a fan to keep it cool and was isolated enough so that I had few distractions
(except an occasional classmate who would entertain his girl friend in his carrel with the lights out
and door locked). By 10 am, 130 (out of 202) carrels had been assigned to the early-birds. He was a
connoisseur of banana pudding and Seinfeld. The change was also made to be beneficial to library
staff, in terms of time, and to be fair to USF students who New College students share the library
with. My roommate and I shared a carrel deep on C-floor, and I will always remember the delirious
late nights spent in that metal box working on my obscure history thesis and occasionally wandering
the stacks to gather my thoughts and figure out who else was crazy enough to be there on a Saturday
night. The recordings are raw and honest and emotional, touching upon important ideas about what it
means to process trauma. Technology-enhanced project rooms may support interaction and
collaboration via a video screen that brings off-site students, teachers and thought leadersinto the
room. Please note that each proxy may make a carrel selection for one senior only. The creation of a
thesis was a daunting physical as well as mental grind. A Thesis High Team Table paired with
Variable seating encourages students to adopt different postures, making it easy to stand, lean or
circulate around the table. Designed nearly seventy years ago, it is an important building in its own
right, showing the stamp of the functional, austere World War Two mentality yet with many
Moderne touches. However, as with many things, COVID-19 has posed challenges. Those who

best to come with a few alternate selections in the event your first choice is taken. And, might
actually benefit the students in the long run. As a result, any student could apply for and receive a
carrel initially, and students who were not official honors thesis candidates were asked to vacate
their carrels after the list was released. Three sets of headphones and mp3 players each sit atop a
chair, all situated in the middle of the hall that hosts her paintings on either side. Nevertheless, I can
certainly understand the nostalgic feelings the old carrels can summon amongst the students who
toiled away in them. The area is full of vacation houses, many of which have long been deserted.
Eventually all of the original carrels — there were about 500 when the building opened in 1948 —
will be replaced by 500 single-person open wooden carrels with modern lighting and wireless
connections. Mine had a fan to keep it cool and was isolated enough so that I had few distractions

on a thesis or independent study project, this is not required to be eligible for carrel choosing. Linda

to dispel his emanations. It’s easy to just write down whatever’s interesting to you, but to really
situate it in an ongoing critical discussion and make it something that somebody else wants to read, I
think that’s something that’s really hard.”. Carrel loved to play Rook and discuss politics with
anyone who was willing to listen. Wesleyan art galleries are open M-F 1-5PM and on Wesleyan
Market Saturdays from 10AM-2PM. They were right, as polio did nothing to diminish Carrel’s life

assigned to students using a random number generator style of assignment in order of students who
signed up for carrels, with the only preference being given to students who have signed up to share
the carrels. I am really interested in the idea of having an image that lacks any sense of clarity despite
an abundance of information, and I really tried to capture this tension between specificity and
uncertainty in my paintings.”. James Mister '09 Says: 2012-02-08 09:14:18 They were a bit dank, but

encourage hard work. Students can still request a single carrel; however, it remains unlikely they will

seniors for the first week following the carrel choosing event. Nevertheless, with grim determination,

share her thesis with peers. The University preserves a large collection of student-written theses,
which are available in two distinct forms, and each form has a different level of access and means
through which students can read them. Carrels are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, and
you are encouraged to explore the library prior to choosing to see what is available. As such, theses
are maintained in a way that promotes long-term preservation. Reading Walter Benjamin’s “The

Carrel loved to play Rook and discuss politics with anyone who was willing to listen. He was
extremely proud of Holly Pond and its growth during his lifetime. However, carrelmates rivaled
roommates, and I recall an onsite wine and cheese celebration after we all turned in our theses. After
dissatisfied students voiced their concerns about the assignment process, White and Cheung
designed this new process in the hope of increasing the number of students who would get carrels.
