William
J. Kirwin Jr., AM'51, PhD'64, of St. John's, Newfoundland, notes
that in the April/01 "Investigations," we mangled the
name of John Matthews Manly, the U of C English professor who
with colleague Edith Rickert oversaw a compilation of the life
records of Geoffrey Chaucer and prepared a critical edition (1940)
of the Canterbury Tales.
In
the June/01 "Class News," we put words in the wrong
alumni mouths. Worse, we did it in big print. In truth, Barbara
Deacon Van Arsdale, PhB'48, not Nancy Kerr Carroll, AB'48, wrote,
"No Pulitzer or Nobel on my horizon but life is a grand prize
in itself!" And Joan S. Friedman, AM'91, not Todd Beddad,
MBA'91, noted, "After a three-year adventure of living in
Mississippi, I am now back 'home' in California." We regret
the errors.
