I shed tears reading Bill Hochman’s tribute to his books. How much we revere our books, and how incessant is the little knocking that tells us we must empty the shelves before someone does it for us. And no matter how close a friend or relative, they will not know the symbiotic connections represented by…

We Think This Says it All Many thanks to Jen Haefeli ’92 for sharing her 7-year-old daughter’s artwork with us. The sticker featuring CC’s new logo was included in the April issue of the Bulletin.

As usual, he is original and eminently practical, and he pinpoints a set of policy options with massive benefits across the board, as an approach to narrowing the income gap in the U.S. Other major changes under discussion…

The 22nd Amendment To Tom Cronin: Your article on the 22nd Amendment in the Colorado College Bulletin for November 2013 was excellent. This amendment changed — for the better — how we do our political business. Let me propose for your consideration a pair of other changes designed to eliminate two problems with our present…

In Memoriam on Neale Reinitz Dear Editors and the Colorado College Community, I was saddened to hear of the death of Professor Neale Reinitz in the most recent Bulletin. When the Class of ’63 … joined the college, Neale was not that much older than we. Neale attempted to attract us freshmen to Spenser’s Faerie Queene (accompanied by…
