Living Deliberately // Henry David Thoreau made the observation at left in 1844, when visiting Williams College, also located in the Berkshires, at the base of Mount Greylock. At Berkshire, our location at the base of Mount Everett is no small advantage either. The Mountain and surrounding areas provide a living laboratory for courses related not just to the environment but to all disciplines. In 2005, students and faculty built a replica of Thoreau’s cabin on Walden Pond in the woods behind Berkshire Hall. Here, an English class meets near it for some inspiration.
