Elsewhere, Hendrix College is celebrating the start of another school year with Deerhunter while Lyon College* catches…Secondhand Serenade**. Yikes. Go Scots.
Even before R.W. Emerson drug his heels through his U.B.W. pre-reqs, student activity committees at private colleges have always made a point to snag big names for their colleges in late August, early September. Still, it’s fun doing the ol’ compare and contrast, innit?
