A statue of old Benjamin Franklin guards the front entry of the college but it's weird that he's so.... well, gray... ... ah, that explains it. Mr. Franklin has been painted... multiple times... and VERY sloppily at that. Perhaps a response to vandalism but in any case it leaves him looking like one of Madame Trousseau's when the A/C has gone out.

The nation's first postmaster, Benjamin Franklin, understood the significance of trustworthy communication throughout the land, both for official business of government and justice, but also for commercial and personal life. How odd to see a yard sign advocating for supporting and sustaining the postal service now in 2021. It is just as taken for granted and essential as air and water.
