Legion. An amalgamated journal.
  • About Legion
    "I do not know whether mine is a profession, or a trade, or what not. It is not yet learned, and in every instance has been practised before being studied .... It is not one but legion." —Henry David Thoreau, to the Secretary of the Harvard College Class of 1837, in response to an inquiry on his employment.

    At Legion, we reserve the right to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, and criticise after dinner, just as we have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic. Legion is an organ of the Matinicus Syndicate, of which more here.

Overheard on the 3pm Shuttle

Junior Parents' Weekend in review...

Embarrassed-Looking Girl to Harassed-Looking Boyfriend: My Dad’s not actually a racist.

Mom to Sheepish Son: Is the campus really so big that she can’t go home to shower or was that pink razor yours?

Mom to Daughter: Daddy made reservations at Upstairs on the Square.

Other Mom to Other Daughter: Daddy made reservations at Top of the Hub.

Far Too Many Fathers to Far Too Many Sons: When I was here…

Irate Mom on the Existence of the Pub: Well I just don’t think it should be allowed.

My Brother on Whether He Aspires to the Ivory Tower: Nope. (Chuckle) Nah, don’t think so.

My Mom on the Positive Psych Keynote: Did you feel me kick you when he mentioned Oprah? You think I’m crazy but Harvard professors listen to Oprah.
