Slumbergate

By Joshua Unseth on July 9, 2009

In 2006, Brown’s Department of Public Safety (DPS) was accused of racism after Chipalo Street ’06 MA’07, an African-American masters student, received an abrasion above his eye after being arrested. More recently, DPS has been accused of suppressing sexual assault data. Needless to say, after receiving its lumps DPS’s morale is at an all-time low. [...]

Addressing the Problems with the TWTP Program

By Lindsey Meyers on May 4, 2009

As a freshman who lives in Keeney Quad, I often walk by the John Carter Brown Library, where the words “Speak to the Past and It Shall Teach Thee” are fittingly carved in stone. Some might regard this exhortation as more than passing strange. But, as a nascent classicist, I particularly like it.
That is [...]

To Whom Do We Owe Our Allegiance?

By Susannah Kroeber on August 1, 2009

Creating an appropriate topic for an article in any publication is the most daunting part of writing. Inevitably, it takes some degree of invention especially when your focus is not on news, and even if you are simply trying to report the facts, a good reporter learns to write between the lines. This prelude is [...]

The Libertarian Brown

By Kevin Kay on July 9, 2009

Esquire magazine recently called Brown “That Maoist collective in Rhode Island.” Bill O’Reilly lambasted both the institution and the administration as “pinheads” and “liberals.” The Princeton Review ranked us as #18 on their list of “Birkenstock-Wearing, Tree-Hugging, Clove-Smoking Vegetarians.” Yet as I spend more and more time at Brown, the question for me is not [...]

A Stranger in a Strange Land

By Jason Carr on July 9, 2009

Two weeks before the spring break of my freshman year at Brown, I had a difficult choice to make.

Christianity in the Academy

By Peter Catsimpiris on July 9, 2009

Hardball at Brown

By Brian Bishop on July 9, 2009

Lest anyone imagine this a paean to the spring ritual of Brown’s varsity baseball season, we’re speaking here of an intellectual squeeze play. We’ll leave for another day the question of whether our vernal worship in the ‘house that Ruth [Babe not Simmons] built’ is but another of Marx or Sade’s opiates of the masses.
Still, [...]
