“Dedicated to the Engineers of Tomorrow,” 2023

When I was poking around the new O’Connor Building, much to my happiness I discovered the benches I’d been worried about, one in memory of James Waters ’17 and the other dedicated to James Boyvey, placed back in their shady corner:

The friend who got me up to the roof of O’Connor (more on this later) asked me to take a look at something interesting that was sitting between FE&P and the north side of the building. It turned out to be the Tau Beta Pi bent, apparently ready to be returned to the engineering quad:

I believe it’s going to be placed right back where we last saw it:

Bonus: It’s a little surprising to me but I’ve gotten a significant number of new subscribers in the last year. For their sake I will present again the saga of this corner and the bent’s arrival in it: here, here, and here. I still smile when I think about how much time I wasted trying to figure this out.

Extra Bonus: Carnage as preparations for the demolition of Sid are underway. You can’t win them all.
