Kirk Hall, Macalester College

Posting this photo because I read Jonathan Franzen's Freedom last week. One of Franzen's scenes takes place in "a senior dorm" at Mac; had the author done just a bit more homework, he'd likely have mentioned Kirk.

Well, Kirk was a senior dorm when I was a senior, anyway. In 1982. In 1967, when I was a freshman (long story, not today), Dupre & Doty were new and all the seniors wanted to live there. So I lived in Kirk, in a single. Life was different in the old days.

Didn't much like the book, for whatever that's worth.
