The good ol' days! Just under a year ago, in February 2011, the area was socked by a snowstorm. Staff labored mightily to clear campus, eliciting praise from students. Photograph by Peter Bailley.

Knox student Biyi Wen and studio art professor Lynette Lombard (right) take a close look at the Isamu Naguchi sculpture outside The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, as part of the art course Knox in New York. Following a ten-week seminar in the fall, Knox students and faculty visited galleries and museums in New York in November and December, conducting research and studying at the New York Studio School.

If we can't have a big pile of white stuff outside -- it rained two inches this week in Galesburg -- we'll make our own, inside. Complete with festive hat, Tim Schmeling, interim international student coordinator in the Center for Intercultural Life, gathers tablecloths following the annual Holiday Lunch, December 14 in Seymour Union.

Students reflect on dessert choices in the "Midnight Breakfast," a special breakfast menu served by Knox Dining Services at midnight before the first day of final exams; another end-of-term tradition at Knox: the Thanksgiving Dinner served by faculty and staff volunteers. Photo by Kin Vong '13.

Kristal Frisque, an employee of Blossoms in Galesburg, arranges lights on a Christmas tree in the George Washington Gale House. The historic site was one of the homes featured in the 2011 Holiday Housewalk on December 2, a fundraising event for the Galesburg Civic Art Center. Built in 1841 by the founder of Knox and Galesburg, the house was purchased by the College in 2006. Frisque is a 2002 Knox graduate who majored in studio art. Photograph by Peter Bailley.

Below, other details from the Gale House holiday decorations: left, a wall sconce with candle and concave mirror; at right, a fireplace mantle, featuring bookends cast from original sculptures of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas by artist Faye Stevenson Smith, a Knox College graduate, physician and trustee.
