As many folks already know, John Elder is retiring after a storied tenure at Middlebury College. Students have eloquently offered their tributes; the local alt-weekly, Seven Days, has published a wonderful profile; and all this week (and into this weekend), the College has been honoring John’s life and work.

Middlebury Magazine is pleased to offer this slideshow from two of John’s former students, Alexander Manshel ’09 and Angela Evancie ’09 (photography).
