Students in Franklin Lit and Sigma Tau Delta held Blind Date with a Book last night. The line snaked out of the door--book are still a hot item, and the executive board did a beautiful job of wrapping each book in an enticing parcel.

Thanks to all of you.

Well, we seem to have 63 donors to our department in particular on the Day of Giving. That is an amazing response! (No news yet about whether we made the Final Four--but we're pretty happy right now whether we made it or not.)

Thanks to all of you who contributed to W&J and especially to the English Department on the Day of Giving. We were thrilled to see names we remembered show up on the Donor Wall. I think we set a record for donors to English as well as to the Day of Giving overall.
