The Summer 2013 edition of Allegheny magazine tracks the spirited debate on campus about the potential for the commercial exploration for natural gas and oil on the Bousson Environmental Research Reserve. Also, we spotlight the new campus gardens near Carr Hall which bring the concept of agriculture full circle at Allegheny. You’ll want to read the true story about the amphibious mascot Al E. Gator, and share in the accomplishments of hundreds of alumni as celebrated in ClassNOTES!
