A Little ‘Fever’ Comes to Campus
Take Five, the 11-member co-ed jazz a cappella group of
Kenyon College, delivered a concert January 10 in the
Burgin Center’s Simon Theatre.
Their performance included “Fever,” “
Dance Me to the End of Love,” “Luck Be a Lady," and “New York New York.” (Note that, like residents of the ‘Burg, Kenyon students are vulnerable to “little town blues”—Gambier, Ohio, population about 2,000, is Kenyon’s home.)
Three Mercersburg faculty members who are also Kenyon alumni attended the concert. Paul Rutherford ’06 is a roommate of one of the members of the group.
Kenyon College—famed for its Gothic architecture, good ghost stories, swimming dynasty, and
The Kenyon Review—is the oldest private institution of higher education in Ohio and was named one of the “New Ivies” by
Newsweek in 2006.
