Spring Fever
Swarthmore's campus feels more alive than ever as students enter the final weeks of the semester, trees and flowers bloom in earnest, and the Big Chair re-emerges on Parrish Beach after months of hibernation. There's truly no better time than the spring to take in and appreciate the full extent of the College's natural beauty.
Check out some recent highlights captured by staff photographer Larry Kesterson:
