“Clearly, menstruation would become an enviable, worthy, masculine event: Men would brag about how long and how much. Young boys would talk about it as the envied beginning of manhood… Congress would fund a National Institute of Dysmenorrhea. Doctors would research little about heart attacks, from which men would be hormonally protected, but everything about cramps. Sanitary supplies would be federally funded and free. Of course, some men would still pay for the prestige of s

It's nerve-racking being a freshman, especially in this pandemic. Everything about CMC and remote learning is new for you. It's impressive when first-year students step out of their comfort zones, especially by doing things such as running for class president! In a remote setting, it can be challenging to get to know your peers. So, let's read what they have to say! Lexi Punishill What’s up Stagthenas!?

Continuing a CMC tradition that started in 2012, The Forum asks graduating seniors to reflect on their time in Claremont and write a memoir in six words or less. The result is a medley of emotions, snapshots, and inside jokes. Here is Class of 2020's contribution to the tradition. Aary Sheoran: CMC, have you considered being better?

Some members of the class gave speeches and toasts, check them out below: GABE GLUSKIN BRAUN ON THE VALUE OF AN EDUCATION: During the time we were lucky enough to attend Zoom university I started to appreciate even more what makes our education so impactful and valuable.

If I walked up to people and asked them if they cared about inclusivity, I think most people would say yes. The problem is, I don’t think CMCers fully understand what inclusivity takes. Inclusivity requires sacrifice. We don’t talk about this, because we want to convince ourselves that it's easy to do, so that it's palatable and easy to support. But it’s not.
