The doors to Clinton Hall may be some of the most well used on campus. In fact, they have seen the comings and goings of the Blair community since the 1920s. Not surprisingly, it stands to reason that they were replaced with new ones in October. However, the replacements were not just reasonable facsimiles of the old ones; they were handmade by Blairs own master carpenter and woodworker, John Rossi. Johns incredible work can also be seen inside the English and history classrooms of Clinton, where his oval Harkness-like tables are used to foster discussions.
