Posted primarily for me for future reference. The Globe ran an article about NMH closing their Northfield,MA campus.
Northfield closure has blood boiling
NORTHFIELD -- When half of Northfield Mount Hermon closes next summer, reminders of tea dances, May Day plantings, and Trish Dolben could disappear too.
Dolben was a 1954 graduate of the former Northfield School for Girls. After she died in 1985, her husband, Don, donated $1 million to create a library in her honor. In a year and a half it will no longer be a part of the school.
"What damn fool would give money for a memorial to his wife that would be used for just 15 years?" Don Dolben said. The former trustee is angry with school leaders. "To cavalierly abandon a campus without stating a purpose seems to be a breach of fiduciary duty, if not a legal duty then a spiritual one." [boston.com]
I know that I'm still annoyed about the whole thing. I feel like I need to road trip out there again soon when it is warm out and just spend some time strolling around taking pictures.
