Williams Magazine Fall 2012Thank you to the group of people who produced the fall 2012 issue of Williams Magazine. You have done an outstanding job inspiring, entertaining, informing and stretching a reader. It’s truly like a liberal arts education condensed into 40 pages—just add water, read and enjoy.

I knew that the Magazine Working Group had been working very hard and imaginatively on the redesign for at least a year and that it was going to be very good. But this is one of those very rare occasions where high expectations have been significantly surpassed by the reality that has emerged. It strikes a wonderful balance among ideas, issues and developments that are (or should be) of interest to alumni and then makes connections to the Williams community where appropriate. It is substantial and written and designed very well. Congratulations on a wonderful success.
