Northwestern University Financial Report 2024: $19.260B (Page 8)

Spoon University, a prominent online food publication for college students, was founded in 2012 by Northwestern University students Sarah Adler and Mackenzie Barth. As juniors living off-campus, they struggled to cook and navigate the food scene, noticing a lack of youth-focused culinary media. This inspired them to launch a blog combining journalism and food, initially for Northwestern students.

The platform quickly grew, engaging 100 students at Northwestern to create recipes, restaurant reviews, and food-related content. Its success led to expansion, with students from other universities requesting chapters. By 2014, Spoon University had spread to over 100 campuses globally, amassing thousands of contributors. Supported by the Techstars accelerator and later acquired by Scripps Networks Interactive in 2017 for approximately $10 million, Spoon University became a key voice in the food movement, empowering young creators

Fountains

“Temple, Fountain and Cave in Sezincote Park” | Thomas Daniell (1819) | Yale Center for British Art

From time to time we break from our interest in lowering the cost of our “cities-within-cities” to enjoy the work of our colleagues responsible for seasonal ambience and public art.  We have a dedicated post that celebrates the accomplishments of our gardeners and horticultural staff.   Today we dedicate a post to campus fountains–a focal point for gathering and a place for personal reflection for which there is no price.

Alas, we find a quickening of standards developing organizations growing their footprint in the spaces around buildings now.  They used to confine the scopes of their standardization enterprises to the building envelope.  That day will soon be behind us as an energized cadre of water rights social justice workers, public safety, sustainability and energy conservation professionals descend upon campus fountains with prescriptive requirements for evaporation rates, bromine concentrations, training, certification and inspections.  In other words regulators and conformity functionaries will outnumber benefactors and fountain designers 1 million to 1.

We will deal with all that when the day comes.  For the moment, let’s just enjoy them.

We are happy to walk you through the relevant structural, water safety, plumbing and electrical issues any day at 11 AM EST during our daily standing online teleconferences.   Click on any image for author attribution, photo credit or other information.

Williams College is a private liberal arts college located in Williamstown, Massachusetts, USA. Founded in 1793, it is one of the oldest institutions of higher education in the United States. The college was established through a bequest of Colonel Ephraim Williams Jr., a war hero who died in the Battle of Lake George during the French and Indian War. In his will, Colonel Williams left funds for the establishment of a free school on the condition that it be located in Williamstown.

“Summerland” William Grant Still 1936

Summer Sabbatica

Faculty of Fine Arts and Music

Summer occupies a surprisingly small place in the orchestral imagination. Winter has storms and Christmas; spring has awakening; autumn brings harvest, melancholy and departure. Summer, by contrast, often appears indirectly—as heat, evening, landscape or memory.

Gershwin’s Summertime became perhaps the season’s most familiar American expression, while Barber found summer in the remembered voices and warm night air of Knoxville: Summer of 1915. Delius gave us A Song of Summer and Summer Night on the River.

Still’s Summerland belongs naturally in this slender company. Perhaps summer resists composition because its characteristic activity is precisely the suspension of activity: long days asking little of us.

This is the second movement of William Grant Still’s *Three Visions*, composed in 1936 and originally written for piano. Set between the troubled atmosphere of *Dark Horsemen* and the luminous *Radiant Pinnacle*, it imagines a place of repose beyond earthly difficulty.

The music moves slowly, carried by long melodic lines and harmonies that seem to suspend ordinary time.

Still later arranged the work for other instruments, and it has proved especially adaptable to strings and wind ensembles. Its warmth is neither idle nor sentimental. There is movement beneath the stillness: a summer landscape understood less as a season than as a state of rest.
