The Oregonian ran an article today titled, “Markets Threaten Oregon University Endowments” (Nov 30, 2008, Metro NW section, B-1). The article profiles Reed College’s finances (which are gloomy, but probably no worse than anyone else’s) and it features a nice picture of students walking away from Eliot Hall.
What am I saying? These are not just any “students” in the photo, but rather our very own Laurel Oldach pondering a just-completed Chem 201 lecture as she heads across the Blue Bridge.
