Vintage Vassar: John Alban '83

“Because our ridiculously overextended staff is committed to growing grapes and making wine, we are not able to conduct public tours or tastings…” — Alban Vineyards voicemail greeting

Getting Inside the Atom

Better put down your cups of coffee before you read on, because I’ve got a surprise for you! No, no, not that kind of surprise. You remember how I said I’d never take another science or math class after high school chemistry and calculus? I lied. I’m taking a physics class, and it’s cool.

Campus Angels: Vassar's Chapel

The Vassar College Chapel, a handsome Norman-revival structure of granite and sandstone, has graced the lawn inside of Main Gate for almost a century. Although often taken for granted as one of the most beautiful buildings on campus, the structure — with its unique art and architecture, including gorgeous stained-glass windows — bears closer scrutiny.

Enlisting Women

While many Vassar women made their mark during the 20th century, most are not known for their roles in the military. Yet over the years — and, in particular, during World War II — dozens of alumnae have served their country in the army, navy, marines, coast guard, air force, and as military nurses.
