Bates in Brief Sightings: Puddle Jump 2012

In 2012, if only briefly during what Mainers call an “open winter,” the campus had the look of winter (otherwise, what’s the point of the Puddle Jump?).

So it was in mid-January that students shed clothes and inhibitions and got shivery with it, taking their annual dip into Lake Andrews, after which photographer Phyllis Graber Jensen captured these post-dip moments frozen, almost, in time.
