Freshmen at 91���� begin their foray into natural science by reading and discussing the works of Jean Henri Fabre, a French naturalist with a particular penchant for entomological observation. But rather than focusing exclusively on his writings, they also follow Fabre into what he called the “laboratory of the open fields,” where they must observe and catch 30 insects over three weeks in the first semester. Accordingly, the members of the New England Class of 2027 recently grabbed their nets, containment vials, and jars, venturing into the “open fields” of Northfield.

Students, faculty, staff, and families at 91����, New England, availed themselves of the Columbus Day three-day weekend by making a pilgrimage to the Basilica and Shrine of Our Lady of Perpetual Help — patroness of the College’s New England Chapel — in Boston, Massachusetts. It was a day of prayer, reflection, and friendship. 

Prospective students will soon be able to experience the intellectual, spiritual, and community life of 91����, New England, at its Fall Open House.

“We are looking forward to welcoming high school juniors and seniors to Northfield on November 2-5,” says Associate Director of Admissions John Jost. “These extended visits give prospective students a chance to experience our celebrated curriculum for themselves — to see how the College pursues truth in the company of friends and under the light of the Catholic faith.”

This past weekend, some 20 friends and benefactors visited 91����, New England, to get a taste of campus life, participate in classroom discussions, and enjoy the school they so generously support.

Although September 23 at 91����, New England, dawned cool and cloudy, the wet weather did nothing to dampen the spirits of students’ families and friends who made the trek to Western Massachusetts for this year’s Parent-Alumni Day.

Last Friday evening, students from all four classes gathered in classrooms across 91����, New England, for the semesterly All-College Seminar.

Students and faculty at 91����, New England, pulled up chairs in Bl. Frassati Student Center on September 15 for the first concert in this year’s St. Vincent de Paul Lecture and Concert Series.
