Bulletin

From the Editor Presidents Past We received several letters asking about the Colorado College presidents on the last issue’s cover. Learn more about them I am writing both as a Colorado College alumnus and a staff member for five years. I was reading the recent edition of the Bulletin (Summer 2022) and found some things…

From the Editor Bulletin, You’ve Changed … Maybe you’ve noticed, we’ve made some changes to the Colorado College Bulletin.
We have given it a sharper focus on aspects that make CC unique, a fresh look, and more compact size, and added new features so you can immerse yourself in the CC experience, stay connected with fellow…

I’m reading through the Colorado College Summer Bulletin. I am gobsmacked to realize I am within days of hitting 50 years since I left Oregon to embrace Colorado College and its groundbreaking / unusual / weird Block Plan, then only in its second year. My mom, a schoolteacher and single parent, said she could only…

To the Editor: As an avid reader of the Bulletin, I didn’t want the year to end without letting you know how much I appreciated the Summer 2020 issue. The photo of Ali Keller in the Gates Greenhouse was especially meaningful for me. Many mornings I went up to the little greenhouse in Olin to…

Just a quick note to say how pleased I am to see Eric Sondermann’s Letter to the Editor in the most recent Bulletin. It is a thoughtful, sophisticated, and broadminded commentary on a pervasive issue in contemporary education and I, personally, think it should be required reading for all students, staff, and CC administration. Bravo…

Retired History Professor Emeritus Dennis Showalter, known to many even outside the department as “the most engaging professor at the school,” died Dec. 30, 2019, from complications related to esophageal cancer in Colorado Springs. He was 77. Dennis claimed German military history as his specialty, but others note his influence on worldwide military history was…

To the Editor: The Summer 2019 Bulletin with its package of stories on the college’s “antiracism” thrust calls out for a bit of perspective. As the child of two German-Jewish Holocaust refugees (both notable people at CC in their time), I know something of the history of bias and discrimination, even hate and genocide. Further,…

It was a delight to see the photograph on page 10 of the latest Bulletin. During my visit to CC for my 50th reunion in 2012, I took some time to visit the archives at Tutt Library to do research on my family’s history with the college. A large print of the baseball team photograph was lying on a table in…

Congratulations on a most interesting and well-presented Colorado College Bulletin. From the picture of Eric Bransby ’47 on the cover through the excellent note from President Jill and the outstanding pictures and articles of the alumni and students. I’d especially like to congratulate and thank Ed Robson ’54, a good friend of us Canadians, for…
