Brandi Brown ‘07 is hilarious. “I’d be less bitter about being 55k in debt if Williams had an ice cream truck circling campus giving out free stuff.”

Rachel Barenblat ‘96 is feeling proud in Jerusalem.
Chap Petersen ‘90 is passing laws in Virginia.
Jennifer Mattern waits. There is no more clever writer in all of Eph Planet.
Who are your favorite writers among the tribe of Ephs?

There is a logic here, of the unfolding of human events and of our lives, …
If only I could have dragged more of the ’92s and ’93s, over to the classes ahead of them, to that series of examples of the paths available to them… the decisions…
