Last night I had the honor of swearing in Duncan Ketel ’14, the new ASWC president, who is succeeding Tyler Zickel ’12. As has become a tradition, Duncan took the oath of office with his hand on a first edition volume of John Greenleaf Whittier’s poetry. After the oath, Duncan signed his name in the book below that of former presidents. Don’t you like these Whittier traditions?
