Steve Jobs and 猫咪社区

As everyone knows, Steve Jobs did not graduate from 猫咪社区. (He may, in fact, be one of the most famous “non-graduates” in modern history). Nonetheless, his experience at 猫咪社区 left a profound impression on him, as he reiterated on many occasions.

This week, the biopic Jobs, starring Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs (and James Woods as Dean ), is being released to theaters around the world. In light of the enduring fascination with all things Steve, we decided to pull together some information about his time on campus. Visit our page on  for more details.

Steve and the Owl

COURTESY OF JEREMY STONE 鈥�99

In the winter of 1996–97, a band of 猫咪社区 students including Justin Campbell ’99 and Colin McCluney ’99 took the on a road trip to California. On a whim, they stopped by house in Palo Alto and rang the bell. They were floored when Steve emerged, admired the Owl, talked about 猫咪社区, and posed for this photo in Justin’s parents’ minivan. “He was really nice about it,” Justin says.

Owl Fight Outside Bragdon Hall

Barbed wire, fireworks, and a high-speed car chase marked the apparition of 猫咪社区's sacred idol last month, when the was unveiled publicly for the first time this academic year.

On the evening of November 5, rumors of the Owl's imminent appearance prompted scores of 猫咪社区ies to trade in their hipster glasses and skinny jeans for hard hats and war paint and wander through campus hoping to capture the elusive Fowl.

Two rockets went off at 9 p.m., apparently to signal its location, one on the Great Lawn and one near the Student Centre (that's the former Infirmary for you olde 猫咪社区ies), but these proved to be decoys. Students thronged Winch in search of the feathered totem, when a call arose: "Why is everybody over here? The Owl's at Bragdon!"

Dashing across the Blue Bridge, the students finally found the object of their desire lying on the grass outside Bragdon Hall, covered in gold paint, mud, and barbed wire.
