The RPI men’s Ultimate team competed at the windy Metro East Regional Championship this past weekend. RPI, along with 11 other teams, met at the Saratoga Springs Polo Association grounds to compete for one of two spots at the Division-III College Championships later this month in Appleton, Wisc. For many teams, the tournament represented the most important weekend of their season, with only the top two finishers advancing. Read more...

In my last notebook as an undergraduate at RPI, possibly my last notebook that will ever appear in The Poly, I have decided to address two growing concerns from my time. The first will cover a few problems I have seen with professors; the second will deal with the courses of RPI’s mathematics department. Read more...
Stand back, everyone. The Helvault is open, and Avacyn is free. This past weekend, a new Magic: The Gathering set was (pre)released—Avacyn Restored, the last set in the Innistrad block. This set concludes the conflict introduced last year with Innistrad’s release: A plane full of humans defending themselves against all manner of things that go bump in the night. With the breaking of the Helvault, the humans have finally gained the upper hand, as Avacyn, Angel of Hope, and her host of celestial crusaders are here to join the fight. Despite the fact that the demon Griselbrand and his minions were released as well, the forces of good have triumphed. Read more...
Baseball started its week off with a game against non-league opponent Williams College. The Engineers fell behind early and entered the bottom of the fourth down 2-0. RPI then put runs on the board as senior Art Levenson and junior Kevin Prosicki collected RBIs, while senior Kyle Kopacz scored on a wild pitch. Williams tied the game up the next inning, but RPI responded in its half of the fifth as junior Tanner Boucher brought home senior Kyle LaVigne. Read more...
Whenever I interact with the Institute, I always try to take a step back and find focus. Whether it’s FIXX, unhelpful professors, dumb rules, or bad hours and locations, I always try to give the ‘tute the benefit of the doubt. I have drawn the line for Financial Aid, however. Read more...
About a year ago, shortly after the planting of the Green Roof on the Rensselaer Union, I got an e-mail looking for my support for yet another green project. This one, however, was for a campus arboretum. I was intrigued. What’s an arboretum? Only able to piece together that the “arbor” part implied its relation to trees, I attended the first meeting.

Despite the cancellation of both weekend doubleheaders, the RPI softball team finished its regular season strong as it heads to the Liberty League Tournament this upcoming weekend. The teams only games this week came against non-league opponent Utica College. The result was mixed for the Engineers as they won comfortably in the opener, but were unable to complete their comeback. Read more...

Week one is completed! After a long week of getting acquainted and situated with everything here, I feel that there have been a lot of things that have been accomplished. Every day has been full of surprises, with small things here and there that I have picked up on. For the most part, these are all issues that are necessary, but not as apparent to students. Unfortunately, in these last two weeks of school, it is quite impossible to start everything up without losing momentum into the next year. Read more...
