For at least 151 years, a hemlock and its close neighbor, a red oak, have grown up together on the Bates campus, close enough to overlap branches, while buildings popped up around them.

Photography from the big snow of Jan. 25 (and 26), back to the joys of a December Makers Market, and tons of athletics. Plus, thesis binding season for the Class of 2026 is here, big time.
