In the weeks since the 2004 Carleton calendar was mailed, alumni and parents have responded with warm reviews of the historical photographs it contains. We have made these photographs available for you to download and use as desktop wallpaper for your computer.
Instructions for installing a wallpaper can be found below.
A complete set of all 24 wallpapers is also availble for download: 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024
