Kenyon in Quotes
There's still work to be done, but I like to think it's getting better in terms of writing and roles. There's still a ridiculous discrepancy in pay. That can't continue." — Allison Janney '82 H'00, in the Irish Times, on opportunities for women in the entertainment industry.
Writer-in-Residence P.F. Kluge '64 defied the expectations of his classmate Emeritus Professor of English Perry Lentz '64 P'88 H'09 by being named Gambier Citizen of the Year. While making the announcement, Lentz admitted his surprise but went on to praise Kluge's "edgy eloquence" and dubbed him "the Salman Rushdie of Knox County, the H.L. Mencken of College Township." Professor of Religious Studies Royal Rhodes was named village poet laureate on the same day. In a poem, Rhodes observed, "Village life reflects the universe."
Ceremonial Masonic aprons, bearing characteristic symbols such as the all-seeing eye, belonged to “the first of Kenyon’s goodly race,” Bishop Philander Chase. They were donated to the Kenyon library in 1918 by Chase’s granddaughter, Susan E. Clark of La Grange, Illinois.
Chase’s involvement in freemasonry reflects the group’s importance in American civic culture. Many of the country’s early leaders, including presidents George Washington and James Monroe, were Masons.
Fifth-year head coach Erin O’Neill ’02 directed the Ladies softball team to its finest season ever, going 29-11. She now possesses a 96-93 career coaching record with the Ladies and is just nine wins shy of becoming the program’s most-winning coach.
George Cooper Jr., a former member of the Detroit Lions and Atlanta Falcons, joined Kenyon's coaching staff this season, taking advantage of the National Football League Players Association’s (NFLPA) coaching internship program. “It gives me the opportunity for hands-on coaching, while learning from the other coaches,” said Cooper.
Head football coach Chris Monfiletto says he is thrilled to have Cooper on board this season as the outside linebackers coach: “Our players will have a great opportunity to learn from someone with experience at the highest level.”
Mary E. Defer joined the marketing and development department of Ideastream Public Media, home to north-eastern Ohio’s NPR news and information radio station.

Alexandra C. Shaeffer sends “Greetings from sunny northern California! After spending the last 20 years away from home and around the world, my husband, four cats and dog moved back to the Bay Area. It’s great to be home!”
Nicolyn V. Woodcock sums up, “I just wrapped up a delightful Homecoming Weekend in Gambier for Alumni Council meetings. Really looking forward to all that the Bicentennial year will bring! Shout out to my Kenyon besties who did a mini-reunion with me in Philadelphia in June: Vivian Cherng, Helen T. Liutongco, David L. Sowa and Christina W. Vick-Kell. And a big hug to Brittney S. Miles ’13, who I visited at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign in September.”
