Attention, all — right by the jewelry display, our beloved Bookstore sells something called  “Magnetic Nail Polish.” As of press time, a business associate and I have been clustered around the display for 7 full minutes, wondering out loud — “What is this? How does it work? Should we buy it and study it and strip it for parts and sell it on the Internet?” Weigh in below!

Welcome, Class of 2017!

Hi there! Welcome to The Thrill. We know you’re busy right now with moving in, dealing with your anxious parents and maybe even dealing with a little anxiety of your own, but allow us to introduce ourselves.

The Thrill serves as one of the primary online resources for the Kenyon community, and our goal is to produce content that informs and entertains all of campus. Our name and our motto (“it unifies, it never dies”) are both derived from Kenyon’s official Alma Mater, which you’ll learn to sing soon enough. We were founded in September 2011 as the blog division of Kenyon’s newspaper, The Kenyon Collegian, but The Thrill quickly developed a life of its own. Today, we cover just about everything: you’ll find breaking news updates, frivolous entertainments to distract you from studying and even original videos featuring the best of Kenyon’s music scene and some of our rockstar professors. We’d be remiss not to mention Kenyon’s other great publications, links to which can be found at the bottom of the right sidebar. (They’re kind of our frenemies.)

Where Did the Caples Table Go?

O table, where art thou?

Attention, North Campus dwellers and frequent lurkers — our beloved picnic table has gone AWOL. It was last seen around midnight on Saturday, but a helpful tipster let us know on Sunday morning that it seems to have disappeared, leaving only a giant, sad void and a ring of cigarette butts in its wake. If you have any information about the table’s disappearance, please let The Thrill  know ASAP, because we Caples residents need somewhere to loiter and be the worst. (Ed.: Rumor has it it’s in the Mather breezeway.)
