Sweet Briar College's imminent closing has been particularly interesting to me as it opens up conversations about single-sex education the school's complicated past. I talked to Sweet Briar anthropology professor Lynne Rainville and alumna Spencer Beall about their thoughts on what will be lost with the College's closure this summer.
Based on historic wrangling over the intent of Indiana Fletcher Williams' will and what that means for Sweet Briar's mandate, Lynn Rainville predicts the current battle will be resolved in court.

Cooking with Angelo Vangelopoulos
For more than 20 years one local chef has been proving that
food can be the means to connect us and foster community. Last week Angelo
Vangelopoulos, chef and owner of the Ivy Inn, was recognized for his excellence
when he was named a James Beard Award semifinalist in the best chef category.
In addition to his enthusiasm for cooking, Angelo shared his
passion for changing the American plate. Yes, Americans need to eat less meat but Angelo’s message is
not just one of deprivation. Indeed, he finds himself more and more drawn to the
complexity and rewards of cooking vegetables these days.
His hope for a more sustainable future stems from seeing a
man revel in his market haul. He suggested that one day we might find a joy and
entertainment in food rivaling that which our phones now provide.
