THE CIRCLE
The Circle is the center of student activities and
gatherings on campus. It was created in 1945
and renovated in 2012 around a new fountain
donated by the Mount’s first lay president,
Jacqueline Powers Doud (2000-2011), and her
husband, Robert E. Doud. The Lighting of
the Circle is a long-standing tradition to start
the Christmas season.
