Wesleyan University's official student newspaper since 1868 and the oldest twice-weekly college paper in the country.
“Collecting China: Missionary Assemblages of a Dis “Collecting China: Missionary Assemblages of a Distant World, 1844–1911” is a new exhibit that opened in the College of East Asian Studies Gallery at the Mansfield Freeman Center on Wednesday, Sept. 23. The exhibition is a compilation of artifacts that were brought back by American missionaries associated with the University dating back to 1835, just four years after it was founded. This is an extended viewing of the exhibit, which first opened last spring and ran from Tuesday, March 3, 2026 to Monday, Aug. 31, 2026, in the lower-level corridor of Olin Memorial Library with a luncheon reception that took place on Wednesday, April 22. “Collecting China” is open to the public Tuesday through Friday, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. It was curated by Chu and Nancy Li ’28 as a part of a bigger tutorial in curatorial practice led by Assistant Director of Exhibitions and Assistant Curator of Education Rosemary Lennox and Associate Director and Curator of Visual Arts, Benjamin Chaffee ’00.

This July, the University purchased the former Bet This July, the University purchased the former Beta Theta Pi fraternity house at 184 High Street for an above-market price of $1.8 million, according to the Middletown tax assessor database. In September 2016, the Raymond Duy Baird Memorial Association, an organization made up of Wesleyan Beta Theta Pi alumni, put the property on the market for purchase or lease. In 2022, the property finally changed hands when it was sold to 184 High LLC, an investment vehicle for Stonepoint Properties LLC, for $520,000. Stonepoint Properties is a Middletown-based property developer who has worked with the University before on developing the storefront of RJ Julia Booksellers. One month after the acquisition, 184 High Street was included in the University’s broader rezoning proposal, which was denied by the Middletown Planning and Zoning Commission. The proposal would have allowed construction on the parcel up to five stories. The building as it stands has three floors, just over 4,500 square feet of living space, and one basement lounge not zoned as livable. Read about the history of the property and its uncertain future and more from our News section at the link in our bio.

Dear Wesleyan Future Fashion Influencers, or “FFI” Dear Wesleyan Future Fashion Influencers, or “FFI”s, Welcome to the only place on campus with a sense of taste. During the height of New York Fashion Week, my contacts at Runway Magazine informed me that Wesleyan is overrun by film majors with terminally online fashion sense, discount Brooks Brothers models, and athletes who only wear their teams’ grey sweatsuits. It became clear that I needed to step in after Wisdom Kaye mentioned a deluge of “fake Anthony Kiedises” at northeast universities in a recent post.

Wesleyan football has taken the NESCAC by storm in Wesleyan football has taken the NESCAC by storm in the past several seasons, winning two straight NESCAC championships and four consecutive Little Three championships. Led by the returning NESCAC offensive player of the year Matthew Fitzsimons ’27, the Cardinals have gone a combined 16–3 in their past two seasons. The Cardinals have continued this momentum this Fall with a 3–0 start, and with a possible three-peat on the horizon, Wesleyan football has high expectations to fulfill.

For as long as she can remember, Mia Ronn ’27 has For as long as she can remember, Mia Ronn ’27 has had an unyielding passion for acting and theater. From getting cast in the hit TV series “Black-ish,” to being a lead in “Rip Her to Shreds” at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Ronn has explored a great deal of what the theater world has to offer. This week, The Argus sat down with Ronn to discuss her acting career and her role as an actor to build human connections and find community.

“Drawn Between the Lines” is a new exhibition show “Drawn Between the Lines” is a new exhibition showcasing works by students enrolled in “Drawing I,” a course Associate Professor of Art Julia Randall teaches at the Cheshire Correctional Institution, made possible through the University’s Center for Prison Education. Randall also curated the exhibition with help from Teaching Assistant Coline McEachern ’26. Split across three parts of Olin Memorial Library, the exhibition highlights the works of incarcerated students, created through a curriculum very similar to one students on campus might take in the University’s “Drawing I” (ARST131) course. The three chronological sections, “Sketchbook,” “Observation and Study,” and the final project, “Self Portrait as Diptych,” give us insight into each student’s artistic progression through the course.

On Friday, Oct. 2, New York Magazine published a p On Friday, Oct. 2, New York Magazine published a piece titled “The Post-Me Too Generation Gets Its Me Too Moment,” referencing the recent lawsuit made by plaintiff Jane Doe against Cornell University and several other institutions and individuals from the time of her sexual assault on Cornell’s campus in 2024. The author of the article, Zoe Yu, talks about the premise of living in a post-#MeToo landscape, where women in college are supposed to believe they are safe now, writing “For many young men, lessons had been learned. The new generation would be different. Harvey Weinstein and Larry Nassar were behind bars; the old monsters were gone. What more was there to do?” This statement in particular stuck with me. Like Yu and her friends, whom she quotes in the article, I too grew up reading the headlines about Larry Nassar and his abuses against the USA Women’s Gymnastics team. I followed the effects of Weinstein’s sexual abuses across the entertainment industry. Most recently, we were faced with the publication of the Epstein Files and the reckoning that followed. Again and again, we are forced to confront the systemic cracks that allow for abusers to slip through. And it is clearly still no different on college campuses.
After a record high summer of U.S. Immigration and After a record high summer of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests across the nation, visible ICE activity in Connecticut throughout September continues to rattle the community. Local organizations like the Middlesex Immigrant Rights Association (MIRA) and Indivisible Middlesex have been working to respond to reports of ICE arrests in the area. On Thursday, Sept. 17, 2026, MIRA was notified of ICE activity at a courthouse in New Britain at roughly 11 a.m. and mobilized several members of its rapid response team to the area. The Argus spoke with two members of MIRA who were present at the incident. The following week, on Wednesday, Sept. 23, ICE activity at the Meriden Superior Court sparked a confrontation between activists and ICE agents. The Argus spoke with three activists who were present at the incident. According to Ed McKeon, a founding member of Indivisible Middlesex, ICE agents were spotted entering the courthouse three separate times that day.
