In the hallway of Yale Station is a line of bulletin boards with locked glass doors—once assigned to organizations but largely abandoned today. They've become a kind of time capsule: a WYBC program schedule from 2014, Career Services posters from 2008, a shuttle map and schedule from 2000. Someone else has clearly noticed; we spotted a label above this board that tells us that the flyers are "from 1996." We fact-checked, and they're right. Both the December 4 Lehigh basketball game and the production of David Budbill's play Judevine happened in the fall of ’96. |
