Good morning, Whitewater
There are no municipal public meetings scheduled for today. You’re on your own today, responsible for your own betterment.
It’s a holiday today, and in Wisconsin, Jimmy the Groundhog, with his own website, will offer his forecast shortly. (The more famous Punxsutawney Phil, of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania and Groundhog Day move fame, has his own website, too.)
It’s Eagle and Spirit Day at Washington School, home of the Golden Eagles.
It’s a proud day in Wisconsin history, as in 1846 the Territorial Legislature chartered Beloit College, the oldest college in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Historical Society describes the college succinctly:
“Chartered in 1846, Beloit College resulted from a series of conventions involving both clergy and laity from northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. Known as the Friends of Education, they accepted an offer of materials and cash from the village of Beloit to build a frontier college.’) More on the history of Beloit College may be found on that school’s website and website archives.
