What makes a news story tragic? Is it the statistics, the body count? Is it the age of the victims? How about the identity of the person killed? I was struck by the massive outpouring of support, prayer, and donations for all those victims and families affected by the bombing at the Boston Marathon.... Read more »

My, my children can you believe it? Our last issue of the year, and the time for us all to say goodbye to one another. Some of us will say goodbye for the summer, and some for good.

Saint Anselm College is not a perfect place. The thing is, perfection isn’t the point.
