THE CLINTON COURIER HC 2

SATURDAY, AUGUST 23 - WEDNESDAY AUGUST 27, 2014

Welcome, Class of 2018

n College Hill, 480 new students, approximately three dozen new faculty members and 20 new staff and administrators are joining our community. A warm welcome to them all, and an enthusiastic welcome back to returning students and employees. I also extend greetings to new students and staff at Clinton Central School, especially Superintendent Stephen Grimm. A highlight of the fall at Hamilton will be the dedication of The Kevin and Karen Kennedy Center for Theatre and the Studio Arts. This beautiful new space will support the creative talents of students and faculty and, along with the Molly Root House and the Ruth and Elmer Wellin Museum of Art, constitute an arts neighborhood in the center of the Hamilton campus. We hope our Clinton neighbors will join us for performances in the Kennedy Center, just as you have been regular visitors to the Wellin Museum since it opened two years ago. You are also welcome at the many public lectures, concerts, performances and sporting events that take place throughout the year. With the relocation of our theatre program to the Kennedy Center, Hamilton’s Minor Theater is being converted into apartment-style residences for 52 students. When that renovated building reopens next fall, all Hamilton students will live on campus. With support from loyal alumni and generous parents, Hamilton has invested nearly $250 million in its physical plant during the

Putting talented students and gifted educators together in excellent facilities enables us to fulfill our mission: preparing students for lives of meaning and purpose so that they can contribute to the world we inhabit. Best wishes for a good academic year. –Joan Hinde Stewart, President, Hamilton College

Formerly dean of the College of Liberal Arts and professor of French at the University of South Carolina (USC), the 2014–15 academic year marks her 11th anniversary in the position. She assumed the presidency on July 1, 2003. Stewart is the first female president in the College’s 200year history. She is the first in her family to earn a college degree. She holds a bachelor’s degree from St. Joseph's College and a Ph.D. from Yale University.

By Kaitlin McCabe, Editor-in-Chief, The Spectator s I return to the Hill about to enter my third year at Hamilton College, I cannot help thinking of how much the campus has changed. When I first arrived on campus two summers ago to participate in the pre-orientation Adirondack Adventure program, bearing too many duffel bags of clothes and great expectations for the year ahead, I admired a landscape lacking several of the key features it has today. The Wellin Museum of Art, though built, would not be finished and opened until later in my first semester. The Kevin and Karen Kennedy Center for Theatre and Studio Arts, which was finished this summer and will be first used this semester, was but a figment of the imagination. Minor Theatre still served as the College’s predominant performance space, whereas it is now on the way to becoming yet another housing option for students. The myriad ideas and possibilities for intellectual and personal growth on campus today were still brewing at that time. While recent graduates watched the progress made towards fulfilling these extraordinary goals, the Class of 2018 will now be able to see and take advantage of its abundant offerings. Even the demographics of the College were different. While my first year of residential life involved running into a motley crew of students in the Dunham hallways, members of the Class of 2018 will mainly be housed amongst themselves. Additionally, unique, student interest-focused options for housing have expanded: first-years can now enter and experience Hamilton as a part of the ever-popular Residential

Engagement in Academic Life (REAL) program or, most recently, the Leadership Experience And Preparation (LEAP) program. With these two choices for housing placements, students now more than ever will have more opportunities to create closely-knit bonds with their residential and academic peers and thus form a more united class body. One must also not forget the radical changes to Greek life that occurred during the last two years on the Hill. I, and many other Hamilton students, rushed sororities and fraternities during the fall semester and then hopefully pledged during the second half of the year. Due to an administrative decision, incoming students will not associate themselves with Greek life until their fall sophomore semester. It is an undeniable truth that the campus to which I was initially exposed is in several ways from a past world, or is even a myth, in the eyes

of the Class of 2018. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The physical and metaphysical changes occurring on the Hill, the core values of Hamilton College, its warm atmosphere, and its inspiring and encouraging curriculum—the fundamental reasons why I fell in love with the College in the first place— remain exactly the same. In fact, I can sincerely say that the sense of loyalty and affection I have for Hamilton has only increased. Yes, the Class of 2018 will certainly have a different first-year experience than my peers and me, but the differences they encounter allow for greater possibilities to flourish and to make Hamilton feel like home. I speak for the entire Hamilton College community in saying welcome, new Hamilton students—welcome, new classmates and new friends. Best of luck in your first semester on the Hill, and I look forward to sharing the wonderful world of Hamilton with you.

n behalf of our community, I welcome the Class of 2018. The Town of Kirkland and Hamilton College enjoyed a harmonious relationship spanning two centuries. This relationship continues in many forms—from college events to which the general public is invited, many of them free, to activities and facilities offered by the Town. For example, in addition to the College’s Root Glen, we have the beautiful John G. Karin III Town Park off Post Street and the Village of Clinton, with its many places to dine and unique shopping experiences. I mention particularly the Town Park, which is enjoyed by many residents and non-residents, for its facilities and natural resources. For an off-campus event, pavilions are available for class or organizational picnics. Call 853-5617 to make a reservation. The park also contains outdoor facilities for basketball, tennis, soccer, beach volleyball, and baseball/softball. There are acres of open space with beautiful vistas and a lovely glen with trails leading down to a clear, clean stream. To be sure, Hamilton also offers an amazing array of similar facilities, but for students who would like to “get off the Hill,” the park is as good a place as any to relax and enjoy a bit of the outside community. We are proud Hamilton College is part of the Town and that first-year students have selected this institution as their new home for the next four years. We also welcome back the upperclass students, who have already experienced shopping, eating, and living in our community. The Town of Kirkland is home for all students for much of the next nine months and we extend the “good neighbor” policy to all with the hope that living here will be an enjoyable experience. There are about 10,200 residents who live in the Village of Clinton, Town of Kirkland, and the hamlets of Clark Mills and Franklin Springs, and Hamilton College. Kirkland is primarily a residential town with limited commercial areas. The Town Board is the governing body and meets twice a month in the Municipal Office Building, which also houses the Town Court, located at 3699 New York State Route 12B SUPERVISOR, page HC 3

Village: many goods, services By Jack Lane Mayor, Village of Clinton

or 200 years, residents and businesses in Clinton have welcomed the arrival of students and faculty to the start of another year at Hamilton College. This is particularly true as we extend a welcome to the new students in the Class of 2018, as well as to new faculty and all returning students and teachers. For new students, Hamilton is a new home. But we’d also like students to consider Clinton as “a home away from home.” The Village offers a range of goods and services, from food and medicine to entertainment and a quiet place away from the Hill. The Village is governed by a mayor and four trustees in Lumbard Hall, located at the south end of the Village Green. If you have questions about the Village and its ordinances, stop in any time or call us at 853-5231. For those new to the community, some history to link us with the college: Clinton was founded in 1787, and a decade later, the Rev. Samuel Kirkland started the HamiltonOneida Academy, which evolved into the present college in 1812. The association between the Village and the Hill has been long and productive and there are many associations between the two. We welcome and encourage student participation in our community events. The steady increase in student population is good news for local merchants, including myself. We encourage you to visit the

Village and the local stores, and the Farmer’s Market on the Green every Thursday through mid-October from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Kirkland Art Center has live performances by artists with international credentials and an art gallery that features the work of community and national artists. Hamilton College provides intellectual stimulation to the community as well through its worldclass Performing Arts Series, and sports from fields, to court, to ice.

First-Year Experience Reinvented By Kaitlin McCabe

or veteran Hamilton students, returning to the Hill each fall is the equivalent of coming home. Yet, for students entering college for the first time, finding a sense of belonging and creating a home-awayfrom-home is not always immediate or easy. Building upon its tradition of cultivating community, Hamilton College has expanded its opportunities for the incoming Class of 2018 in a new initiative, lead by coordinator of orientation and first year programs at Hamilton Tessa Chefalo and student leaders Bennett Hambrook, ’17, Eric Lintala, ’16, Denise Meza Reyes, ’16, and Courtney Somerville, ’16, called the First-Year Experience (FYE). In prior academic years, the College has provided students with optional, yearlong residential and academic programs to better acquaint participants with the College and their peers. The Residential Engagement in Academic Life (REAL) program, for example, has been a popular housing option in recent years. Open to 64 firstyear students, the REAL program brings the classroom into the dorm room by housing classmates together to simultaneously foster academic and social growth. With the similar goal of personal and social development in mind, Hamilton students in conjunction with the Levitt Center and the Dean of Students Office established the Leadership Experience And Preparation (LEAP) program last year to promote the development of leadership skills among first-year students through seminars and interstudent competitions. Beginning this semester, all Hamilton first-year students will be a part of FYE, a program that builds upon the introductory activities of orientation by creating opportunities for students to feel connected to Hamilton throughout the academic year. “Orientation week was a nice fun time to get to know a couple of people on campus but the FYE program is

200 years after Hamilton College was chartered in 1812, the university continues to evolve. intended to provide first year students with support and resources to facilitate their transition into college,” explained Meza Reyes. FYE is structured in the form of group competition. All first-year students will be divided into an FYE group, which is led by a resident advisor or FYE leader depending upon their first-year residence hall. Participating in various FYE activities and core sessions will award students with "FYE points." The three people with the most FYE points by December 1, 2014, will earn individual prizes, and the group with the most number of total points by December 1, will earn the grand prize of a day trip of their choosing. “Though [my first year at Hamilton] was a great year, there were still many things I likely missed out on,” expressed Hambrook. “The FYE program is designed to get first year students engaged as soon as they step on the Hill and provide available programming that will make the transition from high school to college as smooth as possible.” FYE will also include various "FYE core sessions" focusing on topics such as “wellness, the honor code, diversity and difference, sexual assault and alcohol, and time management,” according to the Hamilton website. Student leaders added that the lectures offered will be informative, yet fun. The team behind creating FYE is eagerly looking forward to its first event, a formal reminiscent of a high school prom. Appropriately called, "Prom Down For What," the event is described by Meza Reyes as “possibly the greatest idea for the first event on campus.” First-year students have been encouraged to get creative with their attire in order to make the night truly memorable and a kickstart an unforgettable four years at Hamilton. The FYE coordinators have a promising arsenal of ideas and plans for creating the best first-year experience possible. “I really hope that [FYE helps] students make the most of their experience on the Hill,” Meza Reyes said. Hambrook agreed, “The choice [to participate in activities and events on campus] will ultimately be up to them, but we plan on leaving nothing out while welcoming them to the Hill.”

Hamilton College Performing Arts 2014–15 Season Submitted by Hamilton College

amilton College Performing Arts announces an exciting season of music, theater, and dance for the 2014-15 season in Wellin Hall, Schambach Center for Music and the Performing Arts. All performances are at 7:30 p.m., unless otherwise noted. The season opens with the chamber orchestra A Far Cry on Saturday, Sept. 13. Called “hugely enjoyable” by the Boston Globe, the selfconducted chamber orchestra A Far Cry stands at the forefront of an exciting new generation in classical music. The Hamilton College program includes Thomas Adès’s “Arcadiana”; Shostakovich’s Violin Sonata, with Augustin Hadelich, violin; and Janáček’s “Idyll.” The Senegal St. Joseph Gospel Choir performs on Friday, Sept. 26. Direct from Dakar, the Senegal St. Joseph Gospel Choir is comprised of singers and traditional Senegalese drummers. Founded in 1950 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization’s Ambassador Artist for Peace, Julien Jouga, the choir presents African-American spirituals, traditional African songs, and masses composed by Jouga in Senegal’s four national languages: Ouolof, Diola, Sérère, and Portuguese Creole. The all-female Lark Quartet continues the season on Saturday, Oct. 4. Lark delights audiences with its energy, passionate commitment, and artistry. Lark offers audiences new insights into the art of chamber music with a program that ranges from traditional to contemporary and includes Mendelssohn’s Four Pieces, Op.81; Haydn’s String Quartet, Op. 20 No. 2; Copland’s Two Pieces for String Quartet; and Aaron Jay Kernis’s “Sarabande.” The American Shakespeare Center presents William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing on Saturday, Nov. 1. The American Shakespeare Center seeks to make Shakespeare, the joys of theatre and language, and the communal experience of the Renaissance stage accessible to all. In “Much Ado About Nothing,” the villainous Don John devises a scheme to shatter the nuptials of Claudio and Hero as the young lovers conspire to trick Beatrice and Benedick into admitting their much-denied love. In this powerful comedy full of sparkling wit, Shakespeare gives us the joy of love won and the ache of love lost. He makes us laugh and breaks our hearts, then magically puts them back together again. Continuing in November, Hamilton College and the Mohawk Valley Dance Partnership present Brian Brooks Moving Company on Saturday, Nov. 8. According to the Village Voice, “Brooks’ brilliant escalating repetitions call for endurance, not to say heroism, on the part of the performers … Smart, utterly unpretentious heroes, they make your eyes water and your spirit soar.” A 2013 Guggenheim Fellowship awardee, choreographer Brian Brooks has established himself as one of the most interesting dance makers in New York. Axiom Brass takes the stage on Saturday, Nov. 15. Praised for their high level of musicality, technical ability, and for their clean, clear and precise sound, the award-winning Axiom Brass Quintet has quickly established itself as one of the major groups in brass chamber music. The Hamilton program covers a wide spectrum of music from original brass quintet to transcriptions, including works by J.S. Bach and others. The spring semester opens with jazz vocalist Gregory Porter on Saturday, Feb. 21. Funded by the Jazz Touring Network of the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, Porter is the winner of

Historic source material includes pieces originally written for the stage and for the parlor, as well as songs and instrumental tunes from the hills and back roads of America. The series concludes with Laurie Anderson’s “The Language of the Future” on Saturday, April 11. Innovative composer, vocalist, and

writer Laurie Anderson has been creating groundbreaking works that span the worlds of art, theater, and experimental music for decades. This visionary artist offers the latest chapter in her ongoing exploration of the American narrative and how we tell it: “The Language of the Future,” a witty and poignant collection of songs and stories about contemporary culture, crossing the border between the reality of performance and the

elusive dream world suggested by technology and information. All concerts will held in Wellin Hall, Schambach Center for Music and the Performing Arts at 7:30 p.m. Seating is general admission. Individual ticket prices are $20 for adults, $15 for senior citizens and Hamilton employees, and $5 for students. Discounted series rates are available.

Levitt Center Fall Speakers Announced Submitted by Hamilton College

he Arthur Levitt Public Affairs Center is offering another series of lectures this fall focused on issues of sustainability, security, and inequality and equity. The lectures are free and open to the public. Kwame Anthony Appiah, author and professor of philosophy and law at New York University, will lecture on Monday, Sept. 29, at 7:30 p.m., in the Chapel. A British-born Ghanaian philosopher, cultural theorist and novelist, his interests include political and moral theory, the philosophy of language and mind. In 1992, Oxford University Press published his book “My Father’s House,” which explores the role of African and AfricanAmerican intellectuals in shaping contemporary African cultural life. This book won the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award and the Herskovitz Award of the African Studies Association for “the most important scholarly work in African studies published in English.” Harvard University Professor of Economics Sendhil Mullainathan will lecture on Thursday, Oct. 23, at 7:30 p.m. in the Chapel. His real passion is behavioral economics. His work runs a wide gamut: the impact of poverty on mental bandwidth; whether CEO pay is excessive; using fictitious resumes to measure discrimination; showing that higher cigarette taxes makes smokers happier; modeling how competition affects media bias; and a model of coarse thinking. Mullainathan’s latest research focuses on using machine learning and data mining techniques to better understand human behavior. He enjoys writing, having recently coauthored “Scarcity: Why Having too Little Means so Much,” and writes regularly for The New York Times. A panel discussion on the death penalty will take place on Thursday, Nov. 6, at 7:30 p.m., in the Bradford Auditorium of the Kirner-Johnson building.

New Football Coach Ready for the Challenge Ahead Written and Photographed by John Howard

ormer Alfred University Saxons head coach Dave Murray is probably one of the most positive people you’ll ever encounter—he ends each sentence on an inflexion of moxie. But for a man who has been tasked with turning Hamilton’s football program around, it is this unwavering enthusiasm that might be Murray’s most qualifying asset. “We have a great challenge here,” said coach Murray. “We’re trying to change the culture a little bit. We certainly want to get on a winning track and get things going.” The “challenge” that Murray is talking about is an overall bleakness that has gripped the College’s football program for years. The Continentals haven’t had a winning record in decades. Last year when the team lost every game they played, several by double digits, the program hit a new low. None of that seems to matter much to Murray, who replaces Andrew Cohen at the head coach spot. Murray comes from a winning record. In his 24 years at the Allegany County university, he racked up a 151-99-1 overall record and 10 consistent trips to the postseason. At Hamilton, he hopes to have a similar effect, but in time. One of the biggest hurdles both he and the team will face is the program’s inconsistency. For incoming seniors on the team, which there are 11 of—six on offense and five on defense—Murray will be the third coach they have seen in their collegiate careers. All discrepancies with the playbooks aside, there is a level of trust that will need to be reached almost instantly for this year’s squad to gain momentum. “I met the players briefly in May

Dave Murray is the 32nd head coach of Hamilton’s football program. He sees the team’s recent losing streak as a challenge, but not one that is unbeatable. before they went home, literally for 10 minutes,” said Murray. The program does have the longterm benefit of a large incoming freshman class, ready to learn new formations. Murray expects 23 first-year players to suit up for the 75-member roster. Meeting the incoming class, who like Murray will be new to Continentals football this year, is one thing the coach is particularly looking forward to most. Murray’s own unfamiliarities will also come into play. With the Saxons, who play in the NCAA Division III, Hamilton’s NESCAC league features teams he has zero experience with. “In my years of coaching, I’ve never coached against any team in this league,” said Murray. “It’s different for me. There are a lot of nuances that I need to get used to.” The Continentals will scrimmage

Cornell University ahead of an away opener against Tufts on Sep. 20. With students arriving back to campus this week, there’s only so much you can accomplish with coach-

to-player interactions in the offseason. Murray has been filling his time watching footage of upcoming opponents, visiting the practices of programs, and meeting with his coaching staff. In addition to four Hamilton coaches who carried over through the staff transition, Murray brought two key personnel with him from Alfred—Rich Puccio, who will serve as offensive coordinator, and Josh Miller, who will be the defensive coordinator. Hamilton players have been following Paul Adey’s summer strengthening and conditioning program and so far, based on the few students who stayed behind on campus through the summer, Murray said he’s excited about the enthusiasm he’s seeing. With all the uncertainties that come with beginning a new season with a new team and in a new league, Murray doesn’t appear apprehensive. If anything, he’s just anxious to start playing games. It’s the kind of confidence that only a proven winner can have. “Between the white lines,” he said, “it’s still football.”

New Pre-Orientation Program Unites Students and Beekeepers Written and Photographed by John Howard

group of six College freshmen journeyed off-campus to the hives of local beekeepers as part of their pre-orientation experience. Student groups spent five days ahead of orientation engaged in their selected topics. The beekeeping category is a first for pre-orientation. It is part of a new addition called Exploration Adventure (XA), one of three adventure opportunities new students had to choose from as a way to ease into the college living. Nancy Thompson, dean of students at Hamilton College and a honeybee enthusiast herself, and upperclassmen Jonah Boucher, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;17, and Emily Pitman, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;15, led the program, titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art and Science of Beekeeping.â&#x20AC;? Students

Students work with local beekeepers to extract honey from a hive on College Street. viewed honeybee documentaries, heard lectures from experts in the field, and camped in Moreau Lake State Park as

part of the experience. While many fellow classmates were tempted by the lure of backpacking or

canoeing trips through the Adirondack Mountains, the students suiting up everyday in protective bee suits and veils saw the honeybee-themed adventure as an opportunity they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pass up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Beekeeping] was something that I would probably never get another chance to do and I knew nothing about it,â&#x20AC;? said freshman Annalise Curtis, who arrives from California. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can always go camping. It was awesome to try something new.â&#x20AC;? Others were even more practical. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go all out and be in the woods,â&#x20AC;? said Charlie Lynn, also a freshman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m interested in food and I thought that it would be a good opportunity to learn about something that relates to that.â&#x20AC;? On Saturday, the group shadowed Clinton beekeepers Dr. Lisa Lester and Dan Gale, visiting three controlled hive locations in the Town. Supervised, they worked to extract honeycomb, pulling out frames and asking questions about BEES, page HC 8

Admittedly, it was early in the season to harvest, explained Lester, who has been keeping honeybees for five years now. Honey yield for the day was low. “I normally don’t harvest until October,” said Lester. “There are six more months still for them to be making honey.” Just over 60 percent of the entire Class of 2018 participated in the opt-in pre-orientation programs, the biggest year for pre-orientation yet. Next year, the entire class will participate. Ahead of the Aug. 23 move-in date, and the official start of classes on Aug. 28, these programs have been proving themselves to be a valuable social buffer to the often stress-filled first weeks of college life. The fact that students get to learn and eat some honey in some instances is just a bonus.

Derek Jeter to Speak at Great Names Event

Keith Allison/Flickr After a 20-year career with the Yankees, Derek Jeter announced that he would retire at the end of the 2014 season. By Kaitlin McCabe

aseball has as been labeled as the "national pastime" or "national game” for over a century and with that title, the sport has spurred generations of iconic athletes. One name that immediately comes to mind is Derek Jeter, the veteran captain and shortstop of the New York Yankees. On Wednesday, Dec. 10, at 7:30 p.m., in the Margaret Bundy Scott Field House, Jeter will appear as the next guest in Hamilton’s Sacerdote Great Names Series. The Sacerdote Great Names Series, established in 1996, brings to campus distinguished national and international leaders in government, business, science and the arts. Named in honor of donors Peter and Bonnie Sacerdote and their son, Alex Sacerdote, '94, the series provides both the Hamilton and the broader community with opportunities to interact with some of the world's most influential individuals through free public forums. In the past, the series has welcomed former Secretary of State and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, comedian Jon Stewart, and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. For Hamilton students—a large portion of which are tri-state natives that consider the Yankees and Jeter household names—this year’s selection is unique and an exciting alternative to the recent politicians and world leaders the series has brought to the campus. “I grew up my whole life watching Derek Jeter play for my favorite team,” said Brian Sobotko, ’16, a die-hard Yankee fan. “Listening to him speak at Hamilton just after he finishes his final season seems almost too good to be true.” One of the most prominent and successful franchises in professional sports history, the Yankees have set multiple MLB records, with

accomplishments including 18 division titles, 40 American League pennants, and 27 World Series championships. During his 20-year career with the Yankees, Jeter certainly contributed to these successes with his work ethic and dedication to the game of baseball. Currently, he is a five-time World Series champion. He became part of baseball’s exclusive 3,000-hit club on July 9, 2011. From this record of success, Jeter has become one of baseball’s most marketable players, illustrated by strong corporate partnerships with various well-known brands like Apollo Jets, Avon, Gatorade, Steiner Sports and 24 Hour Fitness. His unforgettable baseball career is celebrated in acclaimed books, notably The New York Times bestseller, “The Life You Imagine” (2001), and “You’re a Star” (2002). This past November, Jeter and Simon & Schuster announced a partnership that would establish a Jeter Publishing imprint. This division broadens the Jeter influence to all reading levels—adult non-fiction titles, children’s picture books, middle grade fiction and readyto-read children’s books. Jeter is a devoted philanthropist and public role model. His passion for inspiring the nation’s youth to make life choices by fostering academic excellence, leadership development and positive behavior led him to establish the Turn 2 Foundation in 1996. In regions such as West Michigan, Tampa, Florida, and New York City, the Turn 2 Foundation has awarded more than $19 million in grants to create and support signature programs that encourage adolescents to avoid drugs and alcohol and to choose to follow healthy lifestyles. Nationally, Jeter has been recognized for his athletic skill and his philanthropic commitment to community service through myriad accolades, including: the World Series

MVP (2000); 13 MLB All-Star nods; five Gold Glove Awards; five Silver Slugger Awards; AL Rookie of the Year honors (1996); the Roberto Clemente Award (2009); the Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year Award (2009); The Sporting News Good Guy in Sports Award (2002); the Michigan Association of School Administrators Champion for Children Award (2005); the Joe Torre Safe at Home MVP Award (2010); and the Lou Gehrig Memorial Award (2010). In 2012, Siena College recognized Jeter with a Doctor of Humane Letters degree for his leadership, accomplishments on the baseball field, and dedication to improving the lives of young people through the Turn 2 Foundation. Throughout his career, Jeter has reliably contributed to the Yankees' franchise successes. He has accelerated the overall popularity of baseball league. Most importantly, Jeter has been selfless with his celebrity, and his December talk will demonstrate that the pride one gains from giving back to the community is just as powerful as what comes from personal and professional achievement.

11 Hamilton Athletic Programs Honored for Academics By John Howard

t is obvious that Hamilton College Continentals’ athletes keep their focus long after they leave their respective fields or courts. Eleven Hamilton College sports programs have been honored for their academic achievements for the 2013–14 school year. Both the men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs

THE CLINTON COURIER HC 9

received spring team scholar AllAmerican awards from the College Swimming Coaches Association of America for the third year in a row. To do so, the squads were required to maintain GPAs of 3.0 or better. The women’s swimming and diving team tied for eighth place in the NESCAC Division III standings with a 2013–14 GPA average of 3.60. Also for the third-straight year, men's and women's track & field programs received 2014 Division III All-Academic team honors from the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. From men’s basketball, Matt Magruder, '15, and Peter Kazicka, '15, made the 2013-14 NABC Honors Court, a program that recognizes men's collegiate basketball studentathletes who excel in the classroom. Magruder is an economics major and Kazickas is studying world politics. Six Hamilton College tennis players, three men and three women, earned 2014 scholar-athlete status from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, meeting individual academic requirements including a grade point average of 3.50. Men’s and women’s cross country teams received academic recognition from the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. Three members of the teams received All-Academic status. As a unit, women's volleyball team was honored by the American Volleyball Coaches Association with the 2013–14 AVCA Team Academic Award, maintaining a cumulative team GPA of at least 3.30 through the academic year. They are one of 129 Division III women's programs to receive the honor. In March, seven members of the field hockey team were named to the National Field Hockey Coaches Association’s 2013 Division III National Academic Squad. All but one in the group, Hannah Bacon, '14, will return for the 2014–15 season.
