Slogging through midterms is no fun. And it had been so beautiful and warm at the start of the week, but yesterday and today have been cold by comparison (high 40s instead of the high 60s/low 70s we’d had). So your Deacs are probably more […]
We continue our look at the Senior Orations read during Founder’s Day Convocation in late February. Today we have two that were read in Wait Chapel: “The Case for Generalism”, by Robert “Tripp” Maloney (’16) Even as I approach the end of my time […]

I sure hope you have ESPN U as part of your cable TV service and could watch last night’s incredible men’s basketball game. Our Deacs had not been doing well of late – hadn’t won a game since January 10th, I believe – but that all changed […]
Yesterday was Founder’s Day Convocation. At the ceremony, there were numerous awards given for teaching and research – I hope you will take a look at the list of faculty who were honored, as it is a great list. At Founder’s Day we also […]
