Torts class, wool socks, free bagels, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, peppermint tea, and at least two constitutional clauses have something in common: members of our community are grateful for their existence.

As in past years, coffee inspired much giving of thanks at our annual Gratitude Drive (although, in all fairness, we set up shop at Coffee Mess). But so did friends, family, students, classmates, and pets. 

Above are a few of this year's responses.
