 | | A fisheye view of the crowd at the Founders Day Tea at the College Center. | April 14, 2011
A little rain was no match for the Connecticut College spirit on Founders Day, the 100th anniversary of the signing of the College charter. Hear a recording of the Centennial song. The chapel bell rang 100 times as students, faculty, staff and alumni gathered April 5 on Tempel Green for a picture in the shape of the number "100." Earlier in the afternoon, Linda Eisenmann '75 P'03 '07 gave a keynote talk on the history of the College. A Founders Day Tea and 100th Birthday Party featured the premier of the new Centennial Song and a comical interpretation of the College's founding story by the student improv group N2O.
