Keep it up, wise@$$! If you do, I'm going to report both you and ACTP to my good pal, Dean Wormer! "The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me."

I watched the whole thing! Really excellent. The student questions were wonderful, and it made this whole discussion much different than his normal interview. Well done, Dr Fauci! #GoCrossGo

It is no accident that Dr Anthony Fauci is an alum of both Holy Cross and Cornell!

At least this kind of hanky-panky doesn't happen at Liberty or BYU or any really religious universities! That's not what I was told by the pool boy!

Instead of more bricks and mortar, our next big financial fund raising push needs to be for student scholarships.

Speaking of Notre Dame, why has Holy Cross never played them in football? I would have thought we would have ben an attractive opponent in our glory days.

Holy Cross professor of sports economics Victor Matheson is quoted in this article that appeared in the Boston Globe: "When ticket sales (not this year, of course), sponsorships, merchandising, and donor contributions are added, BC is “probably generating at least $50 million a year” off its football program, said Holy Cross professor of sports economics Victor Matheson. Those funds go a long way toward subsidizing the school’s sizable athletic program." When I read stuff like this, it makes me dream about what might have been possible in an alternative universe where we did not decide to transition to 1-AA those many years ago.

Ky, As I understand this, in the case we are talking about, the extremely high incomes of the super wealthy mean that the middle number (median) is dragged upwards and away above where the large majority of incomes are. The average (mean), will be lower, even though the mean is also affected.

I believe things have been getting more affordable if you believe that median income is an indicator of such All data indexed for inflation to 2019 $$$ ($1,000) 1980. $56.7 1990 $58.4 2000 $61.1 2010 $58.0 Now some recent data year by year 2015 $56.9 2016 $ 59.0 2017 $61.6 2018 $62.3 2019 $ 63.0 The median is the middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending list of values. As such, it is distorted when there are very high or low values way outside the norm. That is exactly the case with income in the US. Over the last generation, we have seen most peoples income stagnate, while a sliver (the 1%) have increased their income many multiples of times. For this reason, the median income in the US tells you nothing about the affordability for the large majority of folks.

Wow. Is that ever an enlightening article. So many things that I did not know, the main one being that the Healy brothers did not embrace the abolitionist cause, and joked about race as they hid their ethnicity. Wow. We now have celebrated them as our nation's first black college president and bishop, but these are designations that they would not have embraced. Also, I had no idea about this: "Healy did not transact a slave sale for the express purpose of benefiting Holy Cross. Nonetheless, it was Healy’s inheritance, amassed from forced labor, that saved Holy Cross from demise, just as Mulledy’s sale brought Georgetown back from the brink." In my experience, these things have not been a part of the discussion on campus about the Healys. I always wondered why we did not trumpet this legacy more, and now, perhaps, I understand. Anyway, a wonderful article and fascinating stuff!

These stories rely on some fast and loose research that placed responsibility on Georgetown University (a college which had no slaves of its own) versus Mulledy's role as the Jesuit provincial, acting upon orders from Rome. As provincial, Mulledy was de facto rector of all Jesuit churches and schools in the province, not just Georgetown; yet no one calls out Georgetown Prep, Gonzaga College HS, or for that matter, any other Jesuit church in operation in the Eastern United States for his actions. That Georgetown was so quick to assume culpability for something done by the order further clouds this story. And as you undoubtably know, Mulledy next became President of Holy Cross! It is a tangled web.
