Black at Yale 50 years ago

Black at Yale 50 years ago

ByRoger Collins

As I think back fifty years since our graduation from Yale, I’m fortunate to have one significant artifact to help jog my memory. That artifact is a thin, worn, paperback volume on my bookshelf entitled Black Studies in the University: A Symposium edited by my fellow students, Armstead L. Robinson, Craig C. Foster, and Donald H. Ogilvie, published fifty years ago by the Yale University Press. Sadly, Armstead and Don of the Yale Class of…

Dogmatism and Truth

Dogmatism and Truth

ByJim Sleeper

Shortly after he watched White House Counsel Pat Cipollone tell the Senate on Saturday that “the president did absolutely nothing wrong,” a friend sent me an archived copy of Yale President Kingman Brewster Jr.’s 1969 baccalaureate address. Somewhat surprisingly, Brewster’s response —and Yale’s — to the crisis of that time is as urgently needed now as it was then.

from dailykos.com Renewable Tuesday: Decarbonizing the Yale Campus Yale came late to the environmental movement, but has since taken a leadership position, greening the campus, adding environmental courses and research programs, and creating the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication.

Welcome To the New Class Council

Welcome To the New Class Council

ByArthur Segal

Normally, on the Sunday morning of Reunion Weekend, classmates interested in guiding our Class activities for the next 5 years determine membership on our “Class Council.”  That Council then selects the leaders for the upcoming year(s). Last summer that did not happen.  So, in September, Ken Brown and I called for volunteers to step forward to serve on a Class Council.   We wrote, “Such a Council would be the core driver of Class of 1969…

Ralph Swanson reports: “It is with a great deal of sadness that I inform you of the passing today (9/26/2019) of our good friend and classmate, Eric Prosnitz. I just learned this from his long-time girlfriend, Kathi Willis. As you know, Eric was being treated for cancer, but he was very upbeat about the prognosis (I spoke with him last in August).  Apparently, he developed a fast-moving blood infection and there was nothing they could…
