7 Comments A few notable links that have come in over the past couple of days:
1) Andrew Delbanco’s essay in The New Republic, War College. The chair of American Studies department, Delbanco reflects on his teaching of LitHum and the difficulties of understanding war within the university.
2) An update on the final exam incident at the J-school. At least one student has sent Gawker some scuttlebutt on today’s section of Freedman’s course, which was mandatory and supposed to weed out the cheaters.
3) Advice from the Dude Decoder on Alloy, an online magazine targeted at 12-16 year old tweens. A CC sophomore interns for the company, and the dudes here are a bunch of her ’09 friends – Bwog’s favorites are Steve S. (Do you mind if a girl is better than sports?), Max P. (Are girls who dress for class hot or not?) and Jordan K. (What’s the last time you cried?)
4) More from Gawker – they’ve read our Wednesday personals and have nothing nice to say about our Greek friends. Too bad.

@Wrong We have a memorial to B-School people killed on 9/11. It exists just north of Low Library on the northeast part of that little lawn that surrounds it.
Also, Columbia has lots of war memorials.
@Anonymous FYI, Am. Studies isn’t a department, it’s a program, of which Prof. Delbanco is the Director.
@X.J. In the last paragraph of Delbanco’s essay, he mentions that he was unable to find a memorial to Columbia graduates who have died in wars. Such a memorial does in fact exist– it’s a plaque on the corner of the lawn next to the Van Amringe Quad.
@isn't the plaque on the lawn dedicated to alumni who died on sept. 11th?
however, there is a sort of memorial to the fallen in world war I on the fireplace in jj’s…
@X.J. As far as I know, the only 9/11 memorial is in Carleton Lounge, for SEAS alums. I’m fairly confident about the war memorial, but there’s always the chance I’m remembering wrong.
@i think gawker was being unnecessarily rude.
@shira yeah, but that’s what gawker does. I wasn’t really surprised at how they dealt with it, although I thought it was a little silly that they latched onto such a small story.
