Philips Exeter Academy <3

Of all the things to love about Philips Exeter – a long history, many notable alumni, graduates going to ivy league schools, the Harkness system – this Wall most loves the response of the principal to a group of white students objecting (during the Civil War) to the presence of a black student: “The boy is to stay; you may do as you please.”

What is the best place to have sex in the O’Neill?

What is the best place to have sex in the O'Neill?
What is the best place to have sex in the O’Neill?

The best place to have sex is somewhere that you feel safe and that you have permission to be in. As for O’Neill, there aren’t exactly a lot of secret passages or corridors or stacks you can get lost in like some other libraries. The stacks in the library have study spaces scattered throughout, which means that anyone could come along at any time. Similarly, the 5 floors of space we do have are pretty densely populated by staff (office space is a chronic problem on campus). Nevermind the fact that the walls can talk. O’Neill is a less than ideal spot for a private act like sex. Best of luck to you in finding your best sex space.

I have checked with my helpers and they like both chicken and eggs. There are so many ways to prepare and enjoy them. Do you have a favorite recipe?

My grammar is flawless – “on Newton” being an abbreviation for “on Newton Campus” (em-dash may be used to function as a comma above).

I’m sorry! Your grammar is indeed perfect, and I’m not sure how I read “on Newton” as anything other than the Newton campus. (If walls could blush, I’d be beet red right now!) I will look into the wilting of flowers on the Newton campus and provide an answer when I find one.

I agree, and as a Wall, I deeply appreciate a good paint job. If you’re a connoisseur of painted trucks, you might appreciate the fine art book Wings of Diesel: Trucks, Identity & Culture in Pakistan, by Jamal J. Elias. It’s over in the Bapst Art Library: NK1476.7 .A1 E453 2011.

What does it mean when your teeth fall out in your dreams?

The meaning of dreams has long been a subject of debate. Traditionally, losing teeth in dreams is considered to represent anxiety of some sort (and not necessarily dental). You can find more about interpreting dreams in the stacks in the BF 1091 area, or for more about the neuroscience behind dreaming see: Goodwyn, The neurobiology of the gods : How brain physiology shapes the recurrent imagery of myth and dreams (BF458 .G66 2012).

Lebron or Harden for the MVP?

Lebron or Harden for the MVP?
Lebron or Harden for the MVP?

Harden leads the league in points, is 3rd in assists, and has led the Rockets to a first place overall playoff berth. Which is not to say LeBron has played poorly – the Cavs had some personnel issues in the middle of the season and LeBron led them through that like the legend that he is (one can also argue that he’s responsible for those issues, but that’s another post-it). Harden has been solid all season long, and his stats are better than LeBron’s across the board. Which is important because consistency is critical for an MVP and Harden has just shown that more than LeBron this season. Also, anyone who can dance like Harden (bit.ly/HardenDance) deserves the MVP.
