Scott Mazarsky, a first time
Scott Mazarsky, a first time e-mailer to Williams Blog Central, notes that:
Thanks for posting all the notes about our classmates. It is very interesting reading and helps break the monotony of long conference calls. Just writing to let you know that Phil Culhane is indeed a partner at Simpson Thacher in Hong Kong. Although Phil deserves a “coif” type award for having held onto a full head of hair for this long (as opposed to some of his old suitemates who have not been as lucky), “Order of the Coif” is actually a national honor society for law school graduates who finish in the top 5% to 10% of their law school classes. It is a big honor and achievement, though Phil would likely not want to call attention to it (that is the problem with the internet, so hard to be modest).
The blog’s most loyal reader, my father, was also kind enough to provide this link on the topic. Scott was too modest to (yet) provide an update on his own activities, but his e-mail reveals him to be Vice President and General Counsek at United Business Media in New York.
Don’t forget that blogging is
Don’t forget that blogging is a communal activity. Tracy, Kim and I need your help. Surely you can give us a hint about at least one of the people on this page.
At a minimum, if Brooks Foehl doesn’t send me a picture of Alison and their four children, I will be forced to take drastic action . . .

In looking for Marshall Cross,
In looking for Marshall Cross, I came across this site where the Religion Department at Williams records its majors. That’s pretty cool but, presumably, Marshall has been doing something since 1988. Pointers are appreciated, as always.
Joan Davis (not the easiest
Joan Davis (not the easiest name to Google but, fortunately, Joan uses her middle initial) is at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. Their website notes that Joan:
joined the RSB in the spring of 2002, from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Bureau of Health Professions, at the Department of Health and Human Services. She received her undergraduate degree in biology from Williams College, her medical degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo, School of Biomedical Sciences and her masters in public health from the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. She also did her residency at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, in general preventative medicine. Her previous activities include work as a clinician for the Bureau of Sexually Transmitted Disease, New York City Department of Health, and as a consultant physician in a domestic violence shelter in New York City. Dr. Davis is the director of the BIRCWH program administered by the NICHD and is Director of the NICHD Contraception and Infertility Research Loan Repayment Program. Her portfolio encompasses basic, clinical, interdisciplinary, and translation research in women’s health, including sex/gender similarities or differences in biology, health, or disease.
Surprisingly enough, I actually know a bit about this last topic. There is a trade off in statistics between precision and generality. If you are trying to measure the effect of some drug on cholesterol level, you want your test subjects to be as similar as possible. The more similar they are, the more precise your estimate will be. The problem is that your estimate of the effect of the drug will, potentially, apply only to the types of people that you studied it on. So, if your study uses only 35 year old women of Chinese ancestry, then you will have a very precise estimate of the effect of the your drug on cholesterol level for 35 year old women of Chinese ancestry. Perhaps this estimate will also apply to 36 year old women of Chinese ancestry and to 60 year old black men and to 80 year olds who have suffered a heart attack. But you can’t be sure that the results of your study will generalize to these groups. In the bad old days, drug companies would only test on white men and then hope/assume that the results were generalizable. This sort of stuff happens much less nowadays. And, since people come from an endless variety of backgrounds and with an endless variety of concommittant conditions, this problem can never be solved with finite sized studies. The statistical techniques that are used to deal with this problem are fascinating. Really!
And thus ends our statistics lesson for the day.
Perhaps I should go back to my political rants . . .
;-)
If Phil Culhane comes to
If Phil Culhane comes to the re-union, it looks like he’ll be making a long trip. He seems to be a partner at Simpson, Thacher in Hong Kong. Their website reports that:
Mr. Culhane is a partner of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, located in our Hong Kong office, and a member of the Firm’s Corporate Department. Mr. Culhane specializes in the area of private investments funds, an area in which the Firm has a preeminent international presence. He advises clients in Asia in connection with the organization of private equity and venture capital funds, hedge funds and distressed debt funds. Mr. Culhane also represents investors and corporations in connection with direct investments, joint ventures and acquisitions. In addition, Mr. Culhane also regularly represents issuers and underwriters in public and private offerings of securities and has represented lenders in connections with acquisition financing transactions.
But the best part of the page notes that “He received his J.D. magna cum laude from New York University School of Law in 1992, where he was elected Order of the Coif.”
“Order of the Coif”?
Today’s contest is to determine precisely what that is. I always thought that Phil’s hair style was quite chic, but I wasn’t aware that NYU took such things so seriously . . .
;-)

Infirmary
Brooks Foelh sent in perhaps the best e-mail we have received to date. He writes:
Always loved that picture. You’ll note the “Infirmary” sign indicating the spot in the bleachers for the 20 or so of us that lived in Thompson Infirmary sophomore year. The College no longer reserves seating at Homecoming for classes or houses and does not charge an entrance fee for any home athletic contests- a wonderful move by Morty Schapiro. Dave Greenberg is in the bottom left corner and the young(er) person sitting next to him is Ted Benedict, younger brother of Cary Benedict Collins. He was probably a freshman in high school at the time. Is that Beth Bernheimer Harrington next to Lisa? Check out the foreground of the picture, too. There are more ’88’s there, I believe.
The Infirmary story is a great one. Room draw as it existed at the time was not kind to a number of us (booted from Greylock which was fairly common for sophomores at the time, I recall) and we heard that Thompson would be turned into student housing with the completion of the new infirmary at the base of Hoxsey. Some of us met with Dean Kenyatta and were allowed to live there- we thought we were the luckiest people in the world- I’m just realizing now that the administration was probably wondering who they were going to get to live in there while it was still functioning as the Infirmary! We didn’t have the place to ourselves until second semester, but I don’t remember knowing they were even there other than saying hi to Coach Sam’s wife who was at the check-in window. They certainly didn’t stop us from having some great parties- Keg Soccer convened on the third floor every Friday night in the fall. Lots of great memories- too many to share here, but others can add their thoughts.
So, follows Brooks’ request and add your thoughts. Don’t force me to start posting more politcal rants . . .

Once again, picture IDs have
Once again, picture IDs have led to successful Googling (and I don’t think this has ben posted yet, but if it is a repeat, my apologies!). I found this bio of Scott Healy. Assuming this info is current, Scott is VP Professional Services at e-Dialog, “a full-service, outsourced provider of precision e-mail marketing services.”
Scott Berman, staying up way
Scott Berman, staying up way to late into the night, provided the following thoughts on the picture below:
Brooks may be better at this than me, and I’m working off of a laptop with a small screen and poor resolution, but here goes:
The guy standing is Tim Bock. If it’s not him, then it’s amazing because I know there’s a picture of Tim exactly like it in our year book. I also think I see Ann Munchmeyer (Healy), Pete Grose, Brooks Foehl, me (though maybe it’s that Sage JA again), ?, Lisa Phillips, Bill Hilty, Dave Greenberg, and Scott Purdy (lower right). I can’t make out any of the people in the background, but probably would find some 88ers there. One of the guys standing in the top left background looks vaguely like Rob Pucciarrello (sp?), but I don’t think that it’s him. When I return home this weekend I’ll see if I can do better with the real yearbook.
Comments:
1) And I thought that I was the only one who kept all 4 years worth of yearbooks!
2) The picture is from page 14 of the 1986 yearbook, should anyone else want to take a closer look.
3) If the pictures on the blog are not of high enough resolution, please let me know. I can make them (much) high quality, but I am looking for a balance between clarity and download time. Comments welcome.
4) Real question: Why are Ann and Tim cheering so strongly while most everyone else is not? There must be a story there . . .
I don’t recall that the
I don’t recall that the Record had the “1 in 2000″ column where we were undergraduates, but they have had it for a few years (I used to subscribe to the paper version pre-Internet) and it is hilarious. Basis idea is that the one Williams undergraduate is being “interviewed” by a reporter. Of course, the whole thing is canned — no one is that funny on the fly — but well worth the read. Other examples are here and here.
And no politics ever!
;-)

The reunion organzing committee is having a virtual meeting tomorrow. Here’s a photo from our last get-together:

1) Please wish Jack Phillips luck in his efforts at organization.

Right wing commentator Jonah Goldberg
Right wing commentator Jonah Goldberg will be speaking at Williams this evening. I don’t know his work, but I would say that, given current events, he can’t be faulted for his timing.
I was sad to see
I was sad to see that Professor Whitney Stoddard has passed away. The College noted that:
“Whitney Stoddard personified the ideal of the liberal arts professor,” Williams President Morton Owen Schapiro said. “His scholarship informed his rigorous yet popular teaching while he supported in many ways his faculty colleagues and seemed to attend almost every academic, cultural, and athletic event of his students.” He also looked the part, with his tweed jackets, wide-brimmed hats, ever-present pipe, and retriever often at his side.
[...]
For many years, freshman orientation at Williams included a talk by Stoddard called “A Sense of Where You Are,” a wry look at the architecture of the college, not every minute of which was enjoyed by the college administration. The talk was so popular with students that recent classes asked him to give it again the week of their graduation, for which he changed the title to “A Sense of Where You Were.” In 2001 he produced the book “Reflections on the Architecture of Williams” with editor Thomas W. Bleezarde and photographer Arthur D. Evans. This earned him the Williamstown Historical Commission’s first annual preservation award.
Comments:
1) The whole article is very well-written.
2) Note the use of “freshmen” instead of “first year”. I have a guess about the author of the article . . .
3) Professor Stoddard served in the Navy in World War II. The number of current Williams faculty (active and emeritus) that have served in the military is fast approaching zero. Whether or not you think that this is a good thing depends on your point of view.
4) I remember Professor Stoddard’s talk as well as I remember any lecture at Williams. I was so enthralled by his wit and humor and timing, that I went to the lecture most ever year at Williams. Although no one will ever be able to give the talk that way he did, I hope that the college will continue the tradition.
Moving from politics to political
Moving from politics to political science, here is a yearbook picture from 1986 of the political science department.
Comments:
1) Different yearbooks emphasize different aspects of life at Williams. It looks like the 1986 yearbook is the only one with significant pictures of the faculty. If anyone would like to see other departments, please let me know.
2) Casual squash players will recall that Professor Mac Brown was always looking for a good pick-up game. I wonder if he still plays?
3) You can see the current faculty in political science here. I am not sure if this page is completely accurate since it fails to include Professor Cook, who, as best I can tell, is still at the college.
4) I believe that Professors Mac Brown and Tauber are now emeriti.
5) For extra credit, comments on how Professor Stiglicz’s comments would apply to the controversy du jours, i.e., “Maintaining investments in companies that do business in Isreal by using the endowment is in itself a political statement.” My own opinions, on this topic, haven’t evolved much in the last 15 years.
Although I have posted enough
Although I have posted enough political stuff for the day (month?), I can’t resist commenting on this Record editorial on faculty diversity. The Record has a cool feature whereby articles from the archives are displayed on the right whenever you pull up a story. That’s how I came across this year-old editorial. Here are some highlights along with my comments:
Yet, does the College have a faculty of sufficient diversity to reflect the values of our nation’s culture? The answer to this question is undeniably no, and this lack of diversity in the faculty is one of the most disturbing shortcomings of the College today.
It is hard to know how to parse this sentiment. Our nation has a culture. That culture has values. How, precisely, does diversity “reflect” those values? Is it because a diverse (meaning racially diverse) faculty is more likely to share/promote the values of our culture? Or is it that the act of having a diverse faculty would allow the college to live up to the ideals of our nation’s culture? Presumably, the author just wants to suggest that diversity is as American as apple pie, which is fine, as far as it goes.
As it currently stands, minorities compose just 14.1 percent of the voting faculty, which represents a minuscule 0.1 percent increase from the 1994-1995 academic year.
So, what percentage would make the Record happy? 15%? 25%? 50% 99%? If diversity is a good thing, and more diversity is better then less, then a simple rule of thumb would be: Don’t hire any more Anglo men. To be fair, the call for diversity will decrease once the faculty starts to “look like America,” as in President Clinton’s description of his goal for his cabinet. But the Record should give some guidelines as to what it would consider a success.
The virtues of a diverse faculty probably do not need to be explained.
Try me. Why not just hire the best teachers, regardless of their skin color? Assume, counterfactually, for a moment, that I am a better math teacher than my (differently colored) wife. Why is it that Williams students aren’t better off with me than with her? Of course, the suggestion here is that my wife’s color gives her certain insights and experiences that, ipso faco, make her a better teacher. This could very well be true. But, in that case, she is already better teacher. No preferences are needed. But what if she fails to bring any of these experiences to the class room? What if she just teaches math in a way that is totally independent of her skin color? Hiring her would still increase the magic percentage to 14.5%, but, by construction, the education provided would be hindered and not helped.
Even the most enlightened and well-intentioned of professors - a category which, we would argue, includes the entire Williams faculty -
Your naivety is charming. Of course, the Williams faculty, taken as a whole, is excellent. But, if they are all the “most enlightened and well-intentioned of professors” then, surely, we are already in the best of all possible worlds and no further suggestions need be made.
can provide only limited insight into an experience that they have not personally had. Minority faculty members bring a perspective that is of vital importance to the community and simply will not be adequately expressed until the faculty is more diverse.
Perhaps. But, again, if their perspective informs their teaching and makes it better than those with whom they are competing, there is no need for preferences. Professor David Smith is a fine teacher. (I took a class from him during Winter Study.) Perhaps he is a fine teacher because, at least partly, of his expereinces. Perhaps he would be a fine teacher without those experiences. From the perspective of Williams, it shouldn’t matter. Hire the best teachers that you can find. Such a procedure, honestly implemented, will provide for all the diversity you need.
The administration undoubtedly knows more about the problems that the College needs to overcome to achieve this objective than we do, so we urge them to take whatever steps are necessary so that Williams can buck the national trend of stagnation while maintaining the high quality of our faculty.
But in the end, choices need to be made. You can have Katie Kent, Tom Smith, Drew Erdman, Rob Chase on the Williams faculty or you can have someone else. In this, the second best or all possible worlds, you can not have it all. If you can find someone who is a better teacher (leaving aside how difficult this is to define, measure and predict), then, by all means hire her. If she is a different color, then more power to you. But to hire someone who is not as good a teacher, even once you have accounted for the life experiences that she brings to the classroom, is to cheat Williams students out of the education that they deserve.
Of course, lest I be accused of being too hard on the editors, let me note this passage:
There is a significant conservative intellectual presence in our nation. This movement is often overlooked at Williams and in academia in general. It is disappointing that the commitment that the administration has to bringing qualified minority scholars to Williams has not been expressly extended to qualified conservatives.
You know how to reach me . . .
;-)
Continuing on the diversity theme,
Continuing on the diversity theme, Philosophy Professor Steve Gerrard has an article that ties the debate to Wittgenstein. After a too long pre-amble, he concludes with:
My Wittgensteinean argument has been: the pursuit of truth depends on the selection of a plurality of salient and representative examples; the selection of such examples is, at the very least, partially determined by what strikes the individual as salient; thus, the pursuit of truth partially depends on a community of seekers of truth who consider different examples salient.
What kinds of diversity are epistemologically relevant is a contingent matter, and it is a contingent truth that in our particular society at our particular time, race and gender (and not, say, the color of one’s eyes) are crucial (but not necessarily overriding) factors in determining what examples an individual considers worth noting and investigating. This becomes especially significant in the case of individuals who are members of groups that have historically been marginalized in the academy.
Thus, in addition to the moral, political, and pedagogical reasons for Williams College’s affirmative action programs, our institution, as a community of seekers of truth, depends on the increasing participation of diverse and previously marginalized voices.
If the United States Supreme Court voids affirmative action programs, that would not be the first time that government has made philosophy more difficult.
Comments:
1) I shouldn’t be too critical since I love it when professors write for the Record and otherwise engage in the public intellectual life of the College. Williams needs more of this, not less.
2) To be cool, remember to say, “Vittgenstein.”
3) It has been a long time since I read Wittegenstein, but, as best I remember Professor Lipton’s class on the topic, Gerrard is perfectly correct in his argument.
4) As a “contingent matter,” I couldn’t disagree more with Gerrard’s claims about the importance of race, at least as it is currently used by Williams. While it is true that my lovely daughters are members of group (women of mixed race ancestry) that has been “historically been marginalized in the academy,” I don’t think that it is true that their perspectives will be different enough from randomly selected Anglo (more polite terminology than “white”, in my view) applicants to warrant a preference in the admissions process.
5) But I would still go along with this argument — i.e., that Williams provides a better education with preferences than it would without them because of the increased diversity of viewpoints thereby provided — if it were more widely applied. For example, an applicant who had grown up in a city like Sarajevo or Grozny or Bahgdad would be likely to have a dramatically different viewpoint regardless of the color of her skin then one who had grown up in the typical US suburb. If affirmative action as practiced at Williams bought more of these students to Williams, then it would seem a lot more reasonable than a program which seems mostly designed make for pleasingly diverse pictures in the admissions brochures.
Although I think that spring
Although I think that spring break should be over by now, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of activity over at the Williams Record. Fortunately, there has been some interesting articles in the last few weeks. Here are some highlights:
The Record ran a two part series on Diversity at Williams in the March 4th and 11th issues. It was extremely well done, focussed on the situation specifically at Williams. (I can’t figure out a way to link to those issues in their entirety, but you can get to them via the “Archives” box on the left of the home page.) The article on faculty diversity was particularly strong. Consider this section:
At Williams, 91 percent of assistant professors in Division I are female, compared to only 57 percent of doctorates given out in 2000-2001. Further, 46 percent of Division I assistant professors at Williams are minorities, while only 14 percent of Division I doctorates given out went to minorities.
These numbers have started to concern certain members of the community, who argue they indicate what may have once been a noble effort to diversify the academic ranks is now overcompensating at the expense of scholars not looked at as part of the affirmative action program.
“The juggernaut of affirmative action hiring continues despite long-ago demonstrated success,” said Robert Jackall, professor of sociology. “At what point will the College declare victory and peace with honor and leave the battlefield?”
Comments:
1) Although I am pleased that our classmate Katie Kent is tenured, a wonder about the sort of education that my lovely daughters will receive at a place where men don’t get to teach English. Then again, perhaps Dean Fix will still be around to help out!
;-)
2) As far as Professor Jackall’s question goes, I don’t know the answer. But I suspect that only males with tenure are well served to ask these sorts of questions in public.
3) I wonder about the definition of “minority” in this quote. One of the subtle points in these sorts of debates is who gets to “count” as a minority? Sometimes Asians are included (I would wager that they are in the above); sometimes they are not. This issue came up during our time at Williams over the issue of counting a professor with a Spanish last name as a “Hispanic,” even though he was from Spain and, therefore, not really Hispanic in the eyes of some activists.

After reading some of the press clippings on Jon Edie’s site (Chajo), I think I have the answer as to how the name evolved.

David. I saw this in the newspaper and thought ‘88 would be interested. I came across your Blog and have enjoyed reading the exploits of 88 safe from the pre-20 year reunion status of 1984. Ken recently volunteered to help run a free orthopaedic clinic here in Philadelphia and actually missed the closing of his company’s (Morphogen) financing to travel here to take care of a child who needed surgery and could not afford the care. He has been coming on weekends seeing the patients then heading back to Connecticut to manage his own busy practice.He has been a longtime friend and I am really happy he has found a soulmate. Great job with the Blog. Way to go ‘88.

The New York Times
March 23, 2003Shaun Biggers and Kenneth Alleyne
When Kenneth Alleyne proposed to Shaun Biggers last month, a saxophonist played John Coltrane’s and Johnny Hartman’s “My One and Only Love,” softly in the background.
Shaun Biggers and Kenneth Alleyne
Dr. Shaun Denise Biggers, an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology in Manhattan, and Dr. Kenneth Rupert Alleyne, an orthopedic surgeon in Hartford, were married yesterday. The Rev. James M. Lawson, a Methodist minister, presided at the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort and Spa in Dana Point, Calif. The bride, 39, is the daughter of Florestine Biggers and Dr. Samuel Biggers of Los Angeles. Her father, a neurosurgeon, has a private practice in Los Angeles and is the assistant chairman of neurological surgery at Charles R. Drew Medical College, also in Los Angeles. The bridegroom, 37, is a son of Claudette and Rupert Alleyne of Cromwell, Conn. His mother is an administrator in the medical records department at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center in Hartford. His father, who is retired from Northeast Utilities in Middletown, Conn., chief plant engineer and monitored the electrical power output at the Millstone and Middletown facilities.Dr. Biggers, who teaches at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, named each of the 26 tables at her wedding reception after standard love songs — “My Funny Valentine,” “In a Sentimental Mood,” “Misty,” “Stardust” — and put the lyrics on the table. Rather than clinking silverware on wineglasses to get the couple to kiss, the guests had to sing a line or two from the song on their table.Music has played a central part in the couple’s lives together almost from the very beginning. In May 2001, a mutual friend attended a wedding with Dr. Biggers. The friend said, “I know someone perfect for you.” Dr. Biggers said, “‘Give him my number.’” She went on: “I didn’t think something would happen. People often say these things, so I was very casual about it.”But Dr. Alleyne called, and there was instant rapport. “Our first conversation was over three hours long,” said Dr. Alleyne, who practices with Capital Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in Hartford. “I remember because I had to be up the next morning at 6, and only had two hours’ sleep that evening.”A major topic of that conversation was their mutual love of jazz. Every other day for more than two months they spoke on the phone for hours, often playing “name that tune.” Each tried to identify the name of a jazz melody from a few bars played on a CD. On their first date, in July 2001 in Manhattan, they attended a concert that marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of Louis Armstrong. Afterward, Dr. Alleyne went with Dr. Biggers to her Upper East Side apartment and then accompanied her while she walked her dog, a poodle named Satchmo. In the fall of 2001, enjoying the foliage of Williamstown, Mass., Dr. Alleyne tried to impress Dr. Biggers with a picnic during which Dr. Biggers’s favorite song, John Coltrane’s and Johnny Hartman’s “My One and Only Love,” played softly in he background. It was a bust. “This music is far too urbane for this setting,” she recalled telling Dr. Alleyne. Undaunted, Dr. Alleyne tried the song once more, last month when he proposed to her with a saxophonist playing “My One and Only Love” on the Brooklyn Heights Promenade — a setting appropriately urbane, albeit cold and windswept. Afterward, Dr. Alleyne recalled, the saxophonist remarked, “Dude, that’s the best gig I’ve ever played.”
Father-in-law a neurosurgeon, eh? Just don’t tell me that Shaun was his only daughter. I have some experience in the matter of high-speed physician father-in-laws . . . They throw great weddings, though!

Unfortunately, blogger (the service that we are using) is giving me some trouble. So, we may have to wait awhile before we can see Jon Edie’s work here. We can post text but we can’t seem to upload pictures. (There is also a chance that I have used up our disk quota). Of course, if I were really smart and geeky, I would host the blog myself, but that is still a ways away.
Sure there is some classmate reading this who would let us post our pictures on her site.
In any event, until we get this resolved, it’s all text, all the time.

Well, Jody’s answers to the “picture game” provided some fodder for Googling. I think this is Jon Edie, and maybe someone can confirm. If it is, he is designing some very cool stuff. There’s even a picture of him in action! And, the company name (Chajo) is pretty cool…I wonder what it stands for?
