\"Core-Graveyard-Scavenger-Hunt\"<\/a>A message from Prof. Eckel…<\/em><\/p>\n

This is just a reminder that we are planning an exciting (and challenging) new scavenger hunt this Saturday through the galleries and graveyards of Boston. I hope that you will consider putting together a team and joining the competition.<\/p>\n

The hunt will begin in the Core office (CAS 119) at 11:00 on Saturday morning to pick up directions, assemble your teams, and plan your journeys through Boston. The trip will feature the following stops:<\/p>\n

A search through the Museum of Fine Arts to find a series of mummies, mausoleums, and severed body parts (including a Tibetan ritual skull cup); a walk on the Freedom Trail to visit the graveyards of 17th and 18th century Boston, with a side visit to the Italian bakeries of Boston’s North End; a stop in Harvard Square at Burdick’s chocolate shop to sample the best hot chocolate in Boston; and a visit to Mount Auburn Cemetery, the first garden cemetery in the US, to find the family mausoleum of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and the grave of Boston’s most famous murder victim<\/p>\n

The first team to return to the Core office with pictures of all the stops will win a $200 gift certificate to Barnes and Noble, to be divided among the team members. The second and third teams will win gift certificates of $100 each.<\/p>\n

It is not necessary to have a team to participate. You can show up on Saturday morning and we will assign you a to a team. But it is important to let us know in advance that you are planning to attend. Space is limited, and we do not want you to be shut out.<\/p>\n

Please let the Core staff know<\/a> if you will be a part of this important Core event.<\/p>\n

The only things you need to bring will be warm clothes, comfortable shoes, T passes, and a phone with a camera so that you can record the places you visit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
