Students Speak (Valentine’s Day edition): What is love?
February 15, 2018
The S&B’s Seth Taylor approached Grinnell students to find answers to the the time-honored question: what is love, really? From companionship to chemicals, interpretations of the l-word vary widely. Oddly enough, “baby don’t hurt me” is not among the responses. Photos by Mahira Faran.
