“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade,” wrote Charles Dickens in
Great Expectations.
Yes, we saw exactly what Dickens meant as March 2021 came in cold, became warm, and departed with some chill winds (all in all, a benign month, weather-wise).
But whatever the weather, our forward-looking faculty, students, and staff took it in stride, as you’ll notice in these campus scenes from This Month at Bates.

New Haven, CT Elisabeth Fairman, Chief Curator of Rare Books and Manuscripts, will retire from the Yale Center for British Art on January 30, 2021, concluding a career that spans nearly four decades. A search for her successor will be forthcoming.
“We congratulate Elisabeth and wish her all the best in retirement,” said Director Courtney J. Martin. “Her dedication to stewarding the Department of Rare Books and Manuscripts, particularly her role in expanding both the breadth and accessibility of the collection, leaves a lasting mark on the Center and its holdings. She will be greatly missed.”
