Campus Mawrtius

From AcademicBlogs

The CAMPVS (formerly Campus Mawrtius), a blog about Greek, Roman, Late Antique, Byzantine studies, and related pursuits, was started in April of 2004 by a group of Bryn Mawr College graduate students. The blog's original subtitle, "Male Graduate Students: un-serious in terms of studies since 1931," was inspired by a piece titled "Fun With a Capital PhD" published in the Bi-College News (the joint student paper of Bryn Mawr and Haverford Colleges). The piece included a statement "questioning the seriousness of the male grad students in terms of studies," the implication being that we chose Bryn Mawr College to scope out the undergraduates. Bryn Mawr College admitted its first male graduate student in 1931.
