A student mural features layers of in-jokes.

Last summer Jacob Goodman, Class of 2019, created a mural in the College’s admissions office. Among the Chicago iconography Goodman included:

Carl Sagan, AB’54, SB’55, SM’56, PhD’60.

“We don't have a lot of famous-face-recognizable alumni,” says Goodman. “It helps to have that to latch onto.”

His textbooks for Soc.

“The best class I've taken by far.”

Broomball.

“I was in Halperin House in South. We were terrible.”

Latke-Hamantash Debate.

“I'm not that observant of a Jewish person, but that's the thing I go to religiously.”

Item #191.

“I’ve never done Kuvia. I can’t. I can’t.”

Dean Boyer.

“He’s like the mascot-god of UChicago, always watching you from his bicycle.”
