Reader Reactions
Not to mention the return of the cross at the Wren Chapel; certainly the biggest crisis in the hundreds of years of school history; if not world history.
They probably got good at sports because they were forced to remove those “offensive” feathers from their logo.
As if being VA’s #1 school for academics wasn’t enough. NOW they’re trying to take over sports! It’s unfair!
The Tribe rocks in basketball AND football.
