a 22-point lead over Dickinson with fewer than eight minutes left in a men’s basketball game, only to see the Red Devils stage a furious rally and shave the deficit to two with 1:40 to play.\n\n\nThere was little doubt as to who would take the next shot for the Diplomats.\n\n\nThat responsibility would fall to record-setting guard Brandon Federici ’18—and never mind that he had gone scoreless to that point in the game, a result of Dickinson’s unerring defense and his own foul trouble.\n\n\nFollowing a timeout, the Diplomats executed one of the patented baseline inbounds plays favored by veteran coach Glenn Robinson, and Federici wound up with a 3-point attempt from the right corner. He swished it, essentially deciding the game.\n\n\nIt has been an oft-repeated scene over the last four years, for the 6-foot 4-inch Federici has made so many shots, great and small, that he became the leading scorer not only in F&M men’s basketball history, but also in Centennial Conference (CC) history. With 2,072 points, he is the first CC men’s player to eclipse the 2,000 mark.\n\n\nThe business and Italian joint major received numerous awards after leading the Diplomats to their 17th appearance in the NCAA Division III Sweet 16. Among the highlights of a lengthy list: CC Player of the Year, NABC second-team All-American, D3hoops.com Middle Atlantic Region Player of the Year, and Academic All-American. And for the second straight year, he was a finalist for the prestigious Jostens Trophy, which honors one men’s player and one women’s player in Division III on the basis of basketball ability, academic prowess and community service.\n\n\nFederici, averaging more than 19 points a game in his career, called it a “humongous honor” to achieve such heights, and his coach was no less impressed.\n\n\n“I’m not all that enamored with flash-in-the-pan stuff,” said Robinson, whose 952 victories are a Division III men’s basketball record. “It’s sustainability and consistency and success over a long period of time that impress me.”\n\n\nRobinson also marvels at the many ways on-court success can be achieved—at the manner in which Federici’s playing style differs from that of the school’s three previous record-holders, Donnie Marsh ’79, James McNally ’11 and Georgio Milligan ’12.\n\n\nMarsh was a surpassing athlete who worked tirelessly to round out his game; he remains the only F&M player ever drafted by an NBA team (Atlanta Hawks, third round). McNally was a versatile forward and Milligan a bold, aggressive guard who defied defenders’ best attempts to stay in front of him.\n\n\nFederici is subtler, craftier. As was the case on his critical shot against Dickinson, he combines a preternatural feel for the defense with almost limitless shooting range.\n\n\n“Anywhere past the 3-point line seems to be his spot,” said teammate Matthew Tate ’18.\n\n\nFederici does, however, have more in common with previous Diplomat luminaries than it might appear. “They’re alike in that they just could capitalize,” Robinson said. “As soon as the opposition would give them a crack, they were right there. They were ready. And they were relentless.”\n\n\nFederici played four years at Colts Neck High School in New Jersey, then another at Lawrenceville School in that same state, where his coach was F&M grad Ron Kane ’88. While he considered bigger schools during his recruitment, F&M was always in the picture.\n\n\n“I’ve saved every letter from recruiting I’ve ever gotten—hundreds of letters,” he said. “Probably a third of them are from F&M. We’re talking hand-written: ‘Can’t wait for you to be here.’”\n\n\nHe was an immediate starter, much to his surprise, and an immediate success. And if he initially caught opponents unawares, he drew increased defensive attention with each passing year.\n\n\n“It was definitely an adjustment, and obviously sometimes frustrating,” says Federici. “Just like (being the recipient of) jersey pulls and trash-talking in my ear, and heckling from the fans. But you’ve got to use that as fuel. There’s a reason they’re doing this.

We do live in interesting times.
\n\nToday’s science- and technology-driven global knowledge economy brings us previously unimaginable breakthroughs in medicine, genetics, agriculture, commerce, communications and manufacturing.
\n\nBut it also brings anxiety-inducing threats ranging from job disruption to climate change, and from authoritarian regimes to new technologies of thought control and war.
\n\nIn these times, what resources does a good society need?
\n\nOne is liberal arts education. That’s as true today as it was in another era of dizzying change, post-revolutionary America, when Ben Franklin made the first donation that founded this College.
\n\nWhy liberal arts? Because, across the ages, no tradition of education invests more emphatically in the creative capabilities of the young. No tradition better prepares students to develop both core knowledge and intellectual skills. No tradition better empowers students to frame and solve problems. And no tradition better propels graduates into lives of continuous learning and leadership in thought.
\n\nF&M has always been a national leader in our tradition. We see this across our history in the achievements of our alumni, the discoveries of our faculty, and the innovations in how we kindle fire among each generation of students.
\n\nIt’s exciting that, today, Franklin & Marshall College has claimed national leadership in new ways, like residential education, STEM education, launching students into careers, and recruiting high-achieving lower-income students. Next may come distinction in the visual arts and the fostering of innovation.
\n\nI’m grateful for the impacts that F&M’s drive to thrive will always have on me. Among the deepest honors of my role was the privilege of presenting eight classes of graduates with their well-earned Franklin & Marshall diplomas.
\n\nWatching those women and men stride across the stage and into the love and work of their adult lives and our shared future, I’ve always sensed that Ben Franklin would be proud—and that he’d challenge us to do more.
\n\nThis College is a national treasure and a place of hope. I hope that you will always give back to it, because Franklin & Marshall’s continuing excellence matters greatly—for the one and the many, the individual and the society—now, more than ever.

students of Creativity, Innovation and Design (CID) assembled in the “Cage,” a room in the basement of Shadek-Fackenthal Library at Franklin & Marshall College. In twos and threes, they carried in tall standing tables they built, their new workspaces for the semester.\n\n\n \nOne Friday afternoon last September, the students of Creativity, Innovation and Design (CID) assembled in the “Cage,” a room in the basement of Shadek-Fackenthal Library at Franklin & Marshall College.\n\n\nIn twos and threes, they carried in tall standing tables they built, their new workspaces for the semester.\n\n\n“I’ve gotten over my fear of power tools,” one student said. \n\n\nIt’s not a typical course. Co-taught by six faculty and staff, the concept of CID sprung from last January’s campus symposium on creativity and innovation. Last summer, five professors, Etienne Gagnon (physics), Dan Ardia (biology), Kerry Sherin Wright (English), Bryan Stinchfield (business), Dirk Eitzen (film), along with Teb Locke (director of instructional and emerging technologies), attended Stanford School of Design Thinking to learn how to teach ideation. At \"d.school,\" as it’s called, the instructors learned to facilitate creativity, focus on the importance of doing, and came up with ideas for projects.\n\n\nThe resulting class of 18 students in various majors split into six groups, each working with a nonprofit organization as community partner.\n\n\n“The goal of the class is to look at a problem, identify a solution, and try and fix as we go,” said Gagnon, who heads the teaching team. “The professors are doing the same thing with the course itself.” \nThroughout the semester, the students and their community partners worked together to identify and test ideas. They followed prescribed design-thinking methods that generated solutions to the problems faced by each nonprofit.\n\n\n“We want to give students a chance to tackle bigger problems than they normally would in the classroom, to be able to handle failures, and to become better at teamwork,” Gagnon said. “What makes a good team? How do you help team members be their best? How do you do homework when it’s poorly defined, like ‘make a table’?”\n\n\nMid-semester, Trustee Joan Fallon, CEO of Curemark, a pharmaceutical company working to reduce clinical symptoms of autism, visited the class for a guest lecture on entrepreneurship. Fallon, a supporter of the class, also listened to each group’s progress and provided feedback on how to move forward.\n\n\n“You can’t operate in paranoid mode because you become paralyzed,” Fallon said. “Managing risk is the crux of the whole thing. It’s better to fail early than fail late; the potential to fail later is much more catastrophic than failing early.” \nAt the end of the semester, the class presented its work to an audience of faculty, friends and their community partners.\n\n\nOne group worked with Modern Art, an art and design studio that offers community events and activities.\n\n\n“Modern Art believes habitual behavior is the antithesis to community engagement,” said Lauren Matt, a senior from Lafayette Hill, Pa.\n\n\nMatt's group aimed to break people of their habits through shock. They transformed a stationary bike into a Modern Mobile Public Art Generator, which currently functions as a pedal-powered charging station for cell phones.\n\n\nAnother group worked with the Science Factory to create engaging exhibits for the learning center’s annual “Science of ‘Star Wars’” events and for the Extraordinary Give, Lancaster County’s largest day of giving.\n\n\nEmily Landis, Science Factory’s executive director, said F&M students provided the children with “a fun, customized experience” at the “Star Wars” events, which welcomed about 1,500 children.\n\n\nOther students worked with the North Museum on ways to keep people coming back by creating scavenger hunts for kids and promotional ideas. \nLancaster General Health wanted to find a way to entice millennials to sign up for health care. The students came up with an idea for a Netflix-inspired monthly subscription application to instantly chat with doctors and skip lines at urgent care for non-acute illnesses. The app would allow each user to upload his or her medical history so doctors could provide a holistic approach.\n\n\nThose paired with make717, Lancaster’s first maker space, helped the innovation center to connect with the community through regular newsletters. The students also created a menu of lessons and resources, enabling members to run workshops in local schools.\n\n\nChestnut Housing Corp., which provides affordable rental housing, is currently renovating an apartment building that includes a former bar.

One Friday afternoon last September, the students of Creativity, Innovation and Design (CID) assembled in the “Cage,” a room in the basement of Shadek-Fackenthal Library at Franklin & Marshall College.
\n\nIn twos and threes, they carried in tall standing tables they built, their new workspaces for the semester.
\n\n“I’ve gotten over my fear of power tools,” one student said.
\n\nIt’s not a typical course. Co-taught by six faculty and staff, the concept of CID sprung from last January’s campus symposium on creativity and innovation. Last summer, five professors, Etienne Gagnon (physics), Dan Ardia (biology), Kerry Sherin Wright (English), Bryan Stinchfield (business), Dirk Eitzen (film), along with Teb Locke (director of instructional and emerging technologies), attended Stanford School of Design Thinking to learn how to teach ideation. At "d.school," as it’s called, the instructors learned to facilitate creativity, focus on the importance of doing, and came up with ideas for projects.
\n\nThe resulting class of 18 students in various majors split into six groups, each working with a nonprofit organization as community partner.
\n\n“The goal of the class is to look at a problem, identify a solution, and try and fix as we go,” said Gagnon, who heads the teaching team. “The professors are doing the same thing with the course itself.”

They followed prescribed design-thinking methods that generated solutions to the problems faced by each nonprofit.
\n\n“We want to give students a chance to tackle bigger problems than they normally would in the classroom, to be able to handle failures, and to become better at teamwork,” Gagnon said. “What makes a good team? How do you help team members be their best? How do you do homework when it’s poorly defined, like ‘make a table’?”
\n\nMid-semester, Trustee Joan Fallon, CEO of Curemark, a pharmaceutical company working to reduce clinical symptoms of autism, visited the class for a guest lecture on entrepreneurship. Fallon, a supporter of the class, also listened to each group’s progress and provided feedback on how to move forward.
\n\n“You can’t operate in paranoid mode because you become paralyzed,” Fallon said. “Managing risk is the crux of the whole thing. It’s better to fail early than fail late; the potential to fail later is much more catastrophic than failing early.”

\n\nOne group worked with Modern Art, an art and design studio that offers community events and activities.
\n\n“Modern Art believes habitual behavior is the antithesis to community engagement,” said Lauren Matt, a senior from Lafayette Hill, Pa.
\n\nMatt's group aimed to break people of their habits through shock. They transformed a stationary bike into a Modern Mobile Public Art Generator, which currently functions as a pedal-powered charging station for cell phones.
\n\nAnother group worked with the Science Factory to create engaging exhibits for the learning center’s annual “Science of ‘Star Wars’” events and for the Extraordinary Give, Lancaster County’s largest day of giving.
\n\nEmily Landis, Science Factory’s executive director, said F&M students provided the children with “a fun, customized experience” at the “Star Wars” events, which welcomed about 1,500 children.
\n\nOther students worked with the North Museum on ways to keep people coming back by creating scavenger hunts for kids and promotional ideas.

\n\nThose paired with make717, Lancaster’s first maker space, helped the innovation center to connect with the community through regular newsletters. The students also created a menu of lessons and resources, enabling members to run workshops in local schools.

\n\nEdited by David McMahan, Charles A. Dana Professor of Religious Studies, and one other
\n\nFor perhaps the first time in history, meditation has shifted from Buddhist monasteries and practice centers to some of the most prominent and powerful modern institutions in the world, as well as non-institutional settings. As their contexts change, so do the practices—sometimes drastically. New ways of thinking about meditation are emerging as it moves toward more secular settings. The essays in this volume explore the unaddressed complexities in the interrelations between Buddhist history and thought and the scientific study of meditation.

\n\nDiplomat Spotlight: Brandon Federici ’18
\n\nOn a late winter night in Mayser Gym, Franklin & Marshall built a 22-point lead over Dickinson with fewer than eight minutes left in a men’s basketball game, only to see the Red Devils stage a furious rally and shave the deficit to two with 1:40 to play.
\n\nThere was little doubt as to who would take the next shot for the Diplomats.
\n\nThat responsibility would fall to record-setting guard Brandon Federici ’18—and never mind that he had gone scoreless to that point in the game, a result of Dickinson’s unerring defense and his own foul trouble.
\n\nFollowing a timeout, the Diplomats executed one of the patented baseline inbounds plays favored by veteran coach Glenn Robinson, and Federici wound up with a 3-point attempt from the right corner. He swished it, essentially deciding the game.
\n\nIt has been an oft-repeated scene over the last four years, for the 6-foot 4-inch Federici has made so many shots, great and small, that he became the leading scorer not only in F&M men’s basketball history, but also in Centennial Conference (CC) history. With 2,072 points, he is the first CC men’s player to eclipse the 2,000 mark.
\n\nThe business and Italian joint major received numerous awards after leading the Diplomats to their 17th appearance in the NCAA Division III Sweet 16. Among the highlights of a lengthy list: CC Player of the Year, NABC second-team All-American, D3hoops.com Middle Atlantic Region Player of the Year, and Academic All-American. And for the second straight year, he was a finalist for the prestigious Jostens Trophy, which honors one men’s player and one women’s player in Division III on the basis of basketball ability, academic prowess and community service.
\n\nFederici, averaging more than 19 points a game in his career, called it a “humongous honor” to achieve such heights, and his coach was no less impressed.
\n\n“I’m not all that enamored with flash-in-the-pan stuff,” said Robinson, whose 952 victories are a Division III men’s basketball record. “It’s sustainability and consistency and success over a long period of time that impress me.”
\n\nRobinson also marvels at the many ways on-court success can be achieved—at the manner in which Federici’s playing style differs from that of the school’s three previous record-holders, Donnie Marsh ’79, James McNally ’11 and Georgio Milligan ’12.
\n\nMarsh was a surpassing athlete who worked tirelessly to round out his game; he remains the only F&M player ever drafted by an NBA team (Atlanta Hawks, third round). McNally was a versatile forward and Milligan a bold, aggressive guard who defied defenders’ best attempts to stay in front of him.
\n\nFederici is subtler, craftier. As was the case on his critical shot against Dickinson, he combines a preternatural feel for the defense with almost limitless shooting range.
\n\n“Anywhere past the 3-point line seems to be his spot,” said teammate Matthew Tate ’18.
\n\nFederici does, however, have more in common with previous Diplomat luminaries than it might appear. “They’re alike in that they just could capitalize,” Robinson said. “As soon as the opposition would give them a crack, they were right there. They were ready. And they were relentless.”
\n\nFederici played four years at Colts Neck High School in New Jersey, then another at Lawrenceville School in that same state, where his coach was F&M grad Ron Kane ’88. While he considered bigger schools during his recruitment, F&M was always in the picture.
\n\n“I’ve saved every letter from recruiting I’ve ever gotten—hundreds of letters,” he said. “Probably a third of them are from F&M. We’re talking hand-written: ‘Can’t wait for you to be here.’”
\n\nHe was an immediate starter, much to his surprise, and an immediate success. And if he initially caught opponents unawares, he drew increased defensive attention with each passing year.
\n\n“It was definitely an adjustment, and obviously sometimes frustrating,” says Federici. “Just like (being the recipient of) jersey pulls and trash-talking in my ear, and heckling from the fans. But you’ve got to use that as fuel. There’s a reason they’re doing this. You’ve got to brush it off.”
\n\n“I kind of keep that shooter’s mentality,” he said. “When you’re shooting 0-for-10, 0-for-80, you’ve just got to think that the next one’s going to go in.”
\n\nThere were, in time, more than 2,000 reasons to believe.

Kent has taught at F&M since 1991, usually teaching courses on Asian art history and Western photography. Every five to seven years he develops a new course to explore subjects that he feels will enrich the curriculum.
\n\n“This course grows out of a longstanding interest in Chinese poetry that goes back both to my undergraduate years and to graduate studies in Chinese art history at Princeton. In fact, my minor field in graduate school was Chinese poetry,” Kent says. He writes poetry himself that is inspired by a traditional Chinese form.
\n\nThe class turns to the second poem for analysis, “There’s Someone I Think Of,” in Watson’s translation, and in Su’s, “There Is One I Love.”
\n\n“What’s the context?”
\n\n“A break up. A female voice speaking of abandonment.”
\n\n“Yes, there’s an undercurrent of intense emotion throughout the poem,” says Kent.
\n\nThe poem’s speaker received a “tortoiseshell hairpin with twin pearls” from her love, but when she learns he has been unfaithful, she fiercely proclaims, in Su’s translation, “I shattered it, smashed and burned it. Smashed and burned it.”
\n\nThe repetition is songlike, an homage to the Chinese oral tradition.
\n\n“At first when I read this poem I thought it was really straightforward, but when it comes to translation, it’s almost as complicated as the first poem we read tonight,” Kent says.
\n\nThe class comes to a quick end, quicker than Kent would like.
\n\nAsked what he likes about teaching the course, Kent responds with another question. “What do I like about Chinese poetry? Like many readers, I’m especially drawn to its imagery that summons the natural world in all its vastness and multiplicity.” He says a short poem by Li Bai, an 8th-century poet and considered one of the greatest poets of the Tang dynasty, epitomizes this notion:
\n\n\n\n\nExchange in the Mountains
\n\nYou ask why I dwell in these azure mountains.
\n\n
\nMind at ease, I smile but can say nothing.
\nOn the flowing water, peach blossoms silently drift away.
\nThere’s another world that exists, but not among us.(trans. Richard K. Kent)
\n
“It’s terrifically rewarding to teach poetry like this,” he says.

A brutally cold January gave way to warmer days in February, but Mother Nature’s icy grip on the Lancaster area tightened during an exceptionally windy and cold March. Lancaster’s deepest snowfall of the season occurred on March 21, the first full day of spring. April also brought a few dustings of snow.
\n\nWhile many in the F&M community dug out their cars, shoveled sidewalks and cleared driveways at home during the winter storms, a group of College employees worked around the clock to keep campus pathways safe for travel. Often in the dark early-morning hours, professional staff in Facilities Management used shovels, snowblowers, riding equipment and other tools to clear snow from approximately five miles of roads, sidewalks, stairs and parking lots around campus.
\nSnow removal is perhaps the most unpredictable aspect of their work, with some winters requiring dozens of hours of additional effort, and others requiring little in the way of winter cleanup.
\n\nWith warmer days ahead, the grounds and landscaping team of Facilities Management now focus on the regular aspects of their work: maintaining the health of more than 6,000 plants and 1,000 trees; looking after a dozen grass athletic fields and two artificial turf fields; hauling more than 525 tons of waste and 165 tons of single-stream recycling per year; and maintaining the lawns of 52 acres of the main campus, 100-plus acres of Baker Campus and 19 acres of North Campus.
