I like your main table but the background is rather blah.  This may be a=20
personal thing but to me it shows a contrast between the white in the table=
=20
versus the cream background - and I don't care for the contrast.  I=20
understand that the cream in the steeple probably made cream as the=20
background a logical choice, it's just not what my eyes focus on=20
first.  What might be cool would be to use either maroon or the grey and=20
fade out just like you did with the maroon to gray to white area in the=
 table.

The site does have a crisp look to it. I really like the way you did the=20
"Summer 2000" down the picture.  The images are well done but they lack=20
liveliness.  Especially two of the three.  The students on the lawn is the=
=20
most attractive and makes one think lively and interactive, while the other=
=20
two seem very static. What about a JS to flash additional student life=20
images behind each of these?

One other technical comment would be that you are depriving sightless=20
people and those with images off from the image links across the top.  How=
=20
about repeating these at the bottom in text?
