Wesleyan as it appears every day,
Wesleyan as you remember it, and Wesleyan as you've never seen it before.
Those are the images and words that fill "Wesleyan University: In a New
Light," a new book produced by University Relations and the Office of
Communications.
Rich with the colors, activities, and faces that populate the campus, the
book features 150 high quality images taken during the 2003-2004 academic
year by photographer William Mercer '64. Mercer specializes in "on
location photography" and images for specialty books. His images in this
volume provide a fresh perspective to Wesleyan's grand and familiar
landmarks, as well as views on the smaller more intimate events that occur
throughout the campus community during an academic year.
President Douglas Bennet '59 wrote the
book's introductory essay while Joseph F. Siry, professor of art,
contributed a piece on Wesleyan's distinctive architecture. Alumni,
faculty from the present and past, and current students also provided
short, insightful, personal impressions and recollections about the campus
and its people.
David Low, '76, associate director of publications, was the book's editor;
Anne Bergen, director of development communications and stewardship was
the project manager; Suzy Taraba '77, the university archivist and head of
special collections at Olin Library, served as archival consultant.
Copies of "Wesleyan University: In a New Light," are available for $39.95
through Broad Street Books at 860-685-7323 or at www.wes.bkstr.com.
