Looking at an aerial view of the Quad on Oct. 23, you would have been unable to detect any green space with the exception of a small spotlight of grass at the center. A nine-week-old yellow Labrador retriever puppy weighing in at just 12 pounds sported a maroon and gold ribbon tied to her collar. Golden fur glinting in the sun, she clumsily pranced around the free space to the delight of the surrounding students.
It was a day that Tim Carmichael, BC ’78, said he will never forget. It was the first day he brought his dog Molly, now approaching five months old, to campus. Molly has become a routine friendly face on campus since the day students flooded the Quad.
