He was a visitor...

Mr. Carson: Enjoying a Red Room...

... that won't soon be forgotten. Yes, Steds hosted a visitor that everyone wishes could stay forever. Who was this admired and captivating wayfarer? It was none other than the celebrated King Charles Spaniel named after the dutiful, discreet, and trusted butler Fromm Downton Abbey, Mr. Carson. It so happened that Mr. Carson's owner was out of town, and desiring not be kenneled, Mr. Carson sought a brief spell at Steds with Fr. Ralph. Not able to have pets of his own, Fr. Ralph could dog sit, and dog sit Fr. Ralph did! Mr. Carson was delighted to stay the weekend, and while at Steds, Mr. Carson was no slouch.   Living an active lifestyle, Mr. Carson engaged students wherever he found them, participating in Folgers at Four, taking long walks about campus quadrangles, even making rounds with Hall staff. It was a busy weekend, one that left Fr. Ralph completely exhausted but Mr. Carson flush with new found friends. On hosting this admired visitor, Fr. Ralph said, "A lot of kids 80's wanted Charles, played by Scott Baio, in charge of them, but here, the kids want Mr. Carson in charge of them!"
