NORTON, MA – Nine Wheaton College student-athletes have been named to the New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) All-Academic team for the spring of 2004.

Mary Robinson, the former president of Ireland and U. N. Commissioner of Human Rights challenged Wheaton’ s Class of 2004 to demand that governments guarantee human rights.

As summer approaches, take a tour of the exotic and tropical greenery at Wheaton’s greenhouse, wander through the cacti and succulents and don’t miss the interesting selection of plants and dried herbs for sale.

In sharp contrast to the quiet dignity of Wheaton’s May 22 commencement exercises, faculty and graduating seniors will spoof academia’s most solemn ritual on Monday, May 17, with the off-beat pomp and circumstance that is quickly becoming a new Wheaton tradition: the thesis parade.
