Winter Scenes at Wellesley
January 12, 2017
Despite the current temperate weather, the calendar and the half-melted snowbanks across campus are reminders that in January in New England, the next snowstorm is never far away. Wellesley takes a look at the beauty and fun of winter on campus across the decades.
This 1925 photo confirms that “traying” is a long-standing tradition.
