On the last day of his first-year seminar, Bill Hiss (see below) handed out Bates College caps to each of his students enrolled in "Literature through Cataclysm," in modern Russian, Japanese and Vietnamese fiction and film. As the semester concluded, Hiss and his students posed on the steps of Hathorn Hall in a farewell portrait.  Hiss serves as an academic advisor to the students in his FYS course.
