I spent a delightful Sunday evening with hundreds of Wellesley students. They came to the President’s House for Halloween, dressed in costumes of every imaginable type—I saw Cat in the Hat (along with Thing One and Thing Two), Princess Leia, characters from Harry Potter, a Starbucks logo, and even a group that came as a Scrabble game. The inventiveness of Wellesley students never ceases to amaze me.
As for me, I greeted students dressed as Marie Curie, complete with glowing radioactive test tubes in my pockets.
The house was decorated with cobwebs, skeletons, spiders, flickering lights and many other creepy things, thanks to the help of the College Student Government leaders who not only conceived of the idea but assisted with the decorating.
There were cauldrons of candy, cisterns of hot apple cider, and hundreds of cupcakes. Everyone had a great time!
