The Backs of Giants
August, 2016: additional reflections follow this post. I am not, in a traditional sense, a religious person. However, on a cold December night in 1988, I discovered that I was in fact (and remain to this day) a spiritual person. Though the trappings, sanctuaries, and iconographies of traditional religions mean comparatively little to me, there…

Chancellor Syverud on Remembrance Week
It made me happy to realize that each student on that plane gives birth, each year, to one more amazing, engaged, inspiring, and dedicated Syracuse student. As each year passes, each student on the plane has a growing alumni association of scholars. The scholars become a group of people of outstanding achievement who will act…

The Daily Orange has several excellent stories about Dark Elegy, the candlelight service, and Carol King-Eckersley’s connection with parents and Syracuse University (King-Eckersley, the mother of Kenneth John Bissett, only learned last year that the son she gave up for adoption in 1967 was lost over Lockerbie).
