In The New York Times column, “Modern Love,” Sophy Burnham ’58 explores desire and sensuality from an octogenarian’s point of view, after a man, 30 years her junior, confesses he is attracted to her. “I’m an old woman now, although blessed with the accident of health,” writes Burnham. “I’m told I’m attractive, but how could I be? I’m old." |
In a recent op-ed for USA Today, eighth-grade math teacher Yoo Eun Kim ’16 writes about the plight of her students, society and public education: "Some of my students were skipping school because they didn’t have a dependable adult figure who could help them with basic needs ... I started offering to wash my students’ clothes." |
