Dedication
To the students issmmm
The 2008 Yearbook staff would like to dedicate this book to the students of
Washington College. Students bring the campus to life by committing themselves to
the campus community, continuing traditions and creating new experiences.
In recognition of the recent interest to ensure the perseverance of the yearbook, this
special edition ofthe Pegasushonors its longevity by reconnecting with the heritage of
its earliest predecessor, the Alpha.
As part of that heritage, the liberal arts education that we as students have received
has taught us to cherish and preserve the arts, the environment and campus history. It
has also taught us to keep an open mind, to think critically and to raise challenging
questions.
For 225 years, students have driven the evolution and the revolution of Washington
College, atradition we hope will continue forthe next225 years.

our REvolution here
starts
inspired by our heritage, we used our school's 225th year to reflect
upon our past and evolve toward an eminent future
When Washington College was founded in 1782, George Washington probably did not envision the
school as it is today: construction encompassing a large part of the campus, buildings constantly
sprouting up and coming down, the 18th century horror of co-ed dorms. To celebrate the 225th
anniversaryduringthe2007-2008 schoolyear, itis important to examinewherewecamefrom,wherewe
areandwherewearegoing. Whileathletics, organizations andacademicoptions have changed numerous
times over the years, Washington College still maintains three important, fundamental ideals: to make
history, explore the environment andcreateahaven forthe arts. These ideas come to life naturallyin the
collegeas theyareconstantlyrenewedand renovated.
It is fitting as Washington College undergoes a new movement with many changes that the yearbook
should be part ofour school's new revolution. As times evolve toward greater standards, looking to our
college's rich history and present changes makes our evolution possible. Because this is an anniversary
year for our college, it is fitting that the yearbook should be a special edition ofthe Pegasusto mark this
occasion. With the previous year's absence ofan official yearbook, the revamping ofthe book and the
reemergence of the original title The Alpha, the original name for Washington College's yearbook,
retraces our footsteps, allowing us to revolutionize our past in order for it to evolve into something we
canenjoynowandin thefuture.
