September In New Haven
Every so often we should sing the praises of peaceful Hanover, N.H. The following events were summarized in the most recent Yale Alumni Magazine; they took place in New Haven within an eight-day period in September:
- Yale grad student Annie Le was brutally murdered in a high-security Yale lab building shortly before her wedding day. A Yale lab technician, Raymond Clark III, has been named a “person on interest” in the investigation.
- The Yale Police arrested a former Yale employee, John Petrini, in a parking lot close to campus. Petrini, who had complained repeatedly about his retirement benefits, was looking for the Yale Human Resources office, and in the trunk of his car he had a shotgun, ammunition and a large knife.
- A Yale psychiatry resident is under arrest after drunkenly yelling in a bar that he “loved violence,” was the “Savior of Death,” and he wanted to “kill everyone.” Robert Remington was found carrying an illegal pistol, and a search of his apartment found “an arsenal of firearms” that included two illegal assault weapons.
Enjoy a quiet weekend.

Fare Thee Well, Tom Crady
And now Dean Tom Crady has precipitously announced his departure from the College after only 20 months on the job. How to read this? By way of background, prior to coming to Dartmouth, Crady had… -

Kangaroo Court, Indeed
In an interview with The Dartmouth, alumni-elected trustee T.J. Rodgers ‘70 explained his reasons for declining to participate in future evaluations of trustees up for “re-election,” namely the “kangaroo court” nature of such discussion in…
