Vassar College – Things have been getting awkward between Vassar College President Catharine Bond “Cappy” Hill and the divestment protesters who have set up camp outside of her office in Main Building. The protesters have been staged outside of her office since Monday, April 25th to call on her to endorse their demands of Vassar’s divestment from oil companies and to call a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees so that they too can address these demands. This has made things uncomfortable for Hill who enjoys walking Main’s halls while sipping from a golden chalice of “delicious, delicious” crude oil and looking at J.D. Rockefeller’s personal art collection which lines the halls of Main Building. A guilty-looking Hill was last seen peeking out of her doorway at the protestors with a dark oil mustache above her lip.
