<p>Let's discuss on more about MHC. Some kind of revealing the secrets or unveiling the mystries. Maybe just plunging deep into the policies!!!</p>

<p>Well, it's not a secret, but we do have an honor code. We honor each other, and faculty are supposed to honor us. It's a "we believe you if you claim so" rule, with not-so-good repercussions if you lie, of course :)</p>

3

<p>that sounds great!</p>

4

<p>there are tons of scary ghost stories which are fun sometimes, but sometimes just freaky</p>

5

<p>what are they, actually???</p>

6

<p>heres a link on the mtholyoke website with a bunch of stories
dont let it scare you away though
theyre not taken seriously at all really
we did have a "seance" earlier in the year as a joke which was really fun :)</p>

<p>pretty scary, do ghosts still haunt the residence halls?</p>

8

<p>i have heard about like Hannah's potrait, mary lyon's tombstone and Wilder 305? can't remember clearly
ha, it's common to have ghosts in such an old school with so long a history~</p>

9

<p>A tree fell on Wilder last year, on the ghost room... not to frighten you. It's the room nobody uses, because it's "haunted".</p>

10

<p>that sounds good. i like ghost stroy although i dont like ghost....</p>

11

<p>haha very interesting! any other rumors or secrets in other aspects?!</p>

12

<p>Rumor is: If you walk across the 1837/Delles bridge at midnight, you can hear the voice of a girl yelling, "Saaave meee..." or something.</p>

13

<p>Used to be that male professors would meet in the basement of the College Inn--to "bond" with each other and get away from all the women once in a while--group was called "The Merry Lions".</p>

<p>Don't know if that still exists--I'm talking 60 s and 70s.</p>

14

<p>my aunt (class of '71) told me that the professors all had a "thank God they're gone party" when all the students left. i thought that was pretty funny</p>

15

<p>Jane26...actually that included all the parents of the students as well!!! ;)</p>

<p>(kidding, just kidding)</p>

<p>Wow reading all those stories was a great way to procrastinate studying for the SAT's. Thanks! </p>

<p>Almost every story seems to have a reasonable explanation but still, they're pretty eerie.</p>
