At 9:30 this morning, there will be an impromptu gathering at the College Hill Memorial Plaza (formerly the Bell Plaza between Stratton and Old Main)
to remember the victims of the Sandy Hook massacre. The Old Main bell will be rung 26 times for the school victims, and then after a proper pause,
twice more for the souls of the other two deaths in this tragic incident. There will be no invocation, no speeches - just silence.
