This past weekend Random House, Reed\u2019s Literature Dorm, put on The Great Gatsby Shindig\u00a0for the entire campus and over 100 people came to revel in the roaring 20s. As T.J. Eckleburg supervised, Reedies ate, schmoozed and chatted in the\u00a0lovely space (enabled by the astounding\u00a0teamwork of Random Housers who elected to decorate).<\/p>\n

Random House was so excited to put on this event, and we think it showed \u2013 we can\u2019t wait to do it again next year!<\/p>\n
