The 50th anniversary of Earth
Day doesn't take place until
April, but Albion College
starts the celebration in
March, thanks to a major gift
from Bruce Harper, '67, and
his wife Jane. The Harpers
gave more than $100,000 to
Albion College for climate
change education and action,
and to commemorate Earth Day.
All events are free and open
to the public. For more
information, contact the
Center for Sustainability and
the Environment at 517/629-
