A glorious display of divergent jet contrails (short for condensation trails) over Bowdoin was captured by Robert Judd, executive director of the American Musicological Society, the administrative offices of which are housed in Banister Hall. AMS is the national organization devoted to advancing music research, learning and scholarship. Taken over the weekend, the image forecasts the imminent departure of students who will soon scatter for winter break.
