Scarlet Sages: A New Tradition

The Scarlet Sages are all Haverford alumni who have celebrated their 50th reunion, and no condition of physical, financial, or intellectual capacity shall deny them elevation to such honorable standing. Scarlet Sages exist to enjoy the good life begun at Haverford, and shall join with classmates and other Sages to further this pursuit of happiness. During Alumni Weekend each year the college will host a Saturday breakfast for all Scarlet Sages. This year President Tritton will be the keynote speaker on 30 May for the opening gathering of this august group. Alumni from the classes prior to 1949 are eligible to attend this year's breakfast. More information will be available in the Alumni Weekend booklet.

The Penn Club of New York: Affiliate Memberships

Alumni in the New York metropolitan area occasionally ask if there are any clubs in New York to which Haverford College belongs. The answer for many years has been "no." That changes this year with The Penn Club offering Haverford College alumni affiliate memberships. The Club (30 West 44th Street), located just two blocks away from the theater district and Grand Central Terminal, includes the Palestra Fitness Center, guest rooms, meeting rooms, two dining rooms, the Grill Room bar, library and several banquet rooms. Affiliate members may participate in the long list of Club events which include theater parties, business seminars, book clubs, wine tastings, lectures, even karate lessons. An added benefit of membership is the reciprocal club program, which allows members to enjoy more than 32 clubs worldwide. One may find a current club list at the website http://penn.club.com. For membership applications and information, please contact Joy Dargent, Director of Membership, at 212 • 403 • 6657 or joy@penn.club.com.

Alumni and Parent Overnight Host Program: Still Seeking Hosts

Traveling hither and yon? Haverford alumni and parents are being asked to put out the welcome mat for fellow travelers--College alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and current students.

Instead of spending the night in a motel or hotel, would you enjoy staying in the home of a Haverford alumnus/a or parent? You would have first-rate company while saving money, and though hosts would ask for an overnight housing donation, the funds collected will go toward Haverford's financial aid for students. For further information, please contact the Alumni Office at 610-896-1001, alumni@haverford.edu.
