This February, I had the pleasure of speaking about the history of the universe to an enthusiastic audience at the retirement community where my fellow “Universal Attraction” interview subject Nancy Grace Roman ’46, H’76 now resides. It was an honor—she is as sharp as ever.

I have always appreciated the Bulletin over the years, but winter 2018 was particularly attractive and meaningful from start to finish.

During our search for colorful Swarthmore stories, we came across this rainbow of 51 hats crocheted by Sara Hiebert Burch ’79, Edward Hicks Magill Professor of Mathematics and Natural Science.

Cameron French ’14’s “Through Birth, a Companion” (winter 2018) was a wonderful testament to bringing new life into the world. I hope the Swarthmore doulas’ work continues well.

Congratulations on the winter 2018 Bulletin, the most interesting issue I have read in years. “Universal Attraction,” about Swarthmore’s young astronomers, captivated me especially.
