And now, we wait. The Single-Choice Early Action deadline for applications to Yale was on Saturday. Decisions for this initial round will be released in December, at which time the Class of 2018 will gain the seniority that it so sorely lacks at the moment.
Good guys. On Sunday night, YPD Chief Ronnell Higgins posted a reassuring message from his Twitter account, @YPD1. “Keeping the campus safe for everyone and being a good neighbor to our host city,” the tweet read, likely in a subtle attempt to remind the masses that safety comes before ball-chasing fun.
Exhibit A. A Sunday email from Morse Master Amy Hungerford alluded to an incident in which too much fun might have bred too little safety.

Yale Bowl. The New York Times continued its recent coverage of Yale football with a piece on the Yale Bowl’s 100-year history and lack of in-stadium locker rooms.

Eau so artsy. A six-week “Watercolor Basics” class held at the Peabody Museum’s West Campus facility kicks off today. For just $360, anyone can stop by to learn the fundamentals of “mixing colors, controlling washes and glazing.”
Showcase season. Yale’s Facebook page shared an album of photos of campus draped in the autumnal majesty that we’ll all miss dearly in the coming throes of winter.
