September 11, 2001:
Our thoughts are with the victims and survivors
of the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. We mourn for
the friends and relatives lost in Tuesday's senseless cataclysms of
fire and dust; we weep for the world now shattered by the hatred of
zealots; we stand with the survivors.
As Americans (by virtue of birth or immigration
or perhaps just 4 years in New Haven) and Yalies, we share a common
devotion to freedom and truth and reason. We defend the ideals of
this great and generous land. We resolve to be stronger, bolder, more
united than those who would kill innocent thousands to make their
point.
A note from your friendly
editor:
Yes, the Class of 1991 has finally dragged itself
into the mid-1990s: Look! It's our very own web page! Woo-hoo!
Sure, we're a bit late on the scene (heck, we even
got beat by the web jockeys of 1937),
but that's only natural since most of us are still somewhat bewildered
by this so-called "Internet", having graduated just a little
too early to partake in the magical dot-com monster fortune frenzy of
the post-grunge era. Not that we're bitter: Rather than sitting around
luxuriously renovated, high-speed 'net-connected rooms and amassing
vast stores of ill-considered venture capital while trading Limp Bizkit
MP3s over Napster and Cisco shares over E*Trade, we spent our undergraduate
years doing vastly more interesting things, like writing papers comparing/contrasting
Virginia Woolf, George Elliot, Gertrude Stein, and (but of course) Madonna;
dancing to "Can't Touch This" via cassette tape; being GLAD;
and/or working in the dining hall for just enough cash to buy a Big
Gulp Mountain Dew refill at the [now-deceased - sniff!] Wa.
As you may have noticed, we're a little thin on
Class of 1991 content here. Do you know of classmates' web pages? Relevant
alumni events? Digitized photos? Send
them on in!
