Paula A. Johnson, president of Wellesley College, was among dozens of higher education leaders to sign a statement condemning overreach from the federal government into campus affairs.

Wellesley’s decades-old Scream Tunnel tradition on Marathon Monday is often described as “the best day on campus” by students at the private women’s college, including by Julia Reste ’27.
