Editor’s Note

The adventure of putting a magazine together changes with each issue. But the process never fails to reward us as we uncover interesting facts and find connections across the University community. Along the way, we discover a few things we need to improve on or that will help us with the magazine in the future.

1. The University’s LinkedIn community is wonderfully helpful. The Facebook communities are, too. We turned to Rochester’s flagship social accounts to ask alumni for advice for the Class of 2022 (pages 46–47). We got more good advice than we could print. Thanks to everyone who chimed in.
2. The “Squealy Gobbler” failed to thrive. In her column on University history, Archivist Melissa Mead gets to the bottom of a menu mystery (page 20).
3. Beer money can be music money. Conductor William Eddins ’83, ’86E (MM) and his business partner are using the proceeds from their new brewpub to support music education in the Twin Cities (page 43). Cheers!
4. Edward Atwater ’50 was busy. The late physician’s celebrated collection of AIDS posters formed the basis of a new book and an art exhibition this year (pages 22–25). He also collected important materials about the history of women in medicine. Atwater introduced Ellen Singer More ’79 (PhD) to the collection early in her career. The tip eventually led More to another graduate, Mary Calderone ’39M (MD). The result is More’s new book about the sex education pioneer (pages 34–39).
5. Mrs. Dalloway was, too. Virginia Woolf’s influential novel is part of a class on Ulysses (pages 10–11) and can be found at the heart of a new opera this fall that features prominent Eastman alumni (page 41).
6. The last few days of getting an issue ready can be hectic, but we can say we’re following in the footsteps of James Joyce. The celebrated modernist was still making changes to his masterpiece Ulysses as the pages were being typeset (pages 10–11).

And now for a correction: We owe an apology to three members of the Class of 2023 for misidentifying them in the photo “Curling Cues” in the Winter 2022 issue. The three students who were shown taking part in a curling demonstration during Winterfest Weekend were Linnea Wegge ’23, Ian Gillis ’23, and Maya Hewitt ’23 rather than the three first-year students who were identified in the issue. Our apologies for the error.

Speaking of that curling demonstration, Caitlin Costello Pulli ’97, who helped organize the activity with her husband, Jeff, and the Rochester Curling Club, had some big news this spring (pages 40–41).

And a postscript: We are combining our last two quarterly issues for this academic year into this single, combined Spring-Summer 2022 issue. We had originally planned for two separate issues, but as with publishers big and small around the country, we have faced paper shortages, increasing prices, and other factors that have made it difficult to plan a printed publication very far ahead.

So we made this issue a little more compact and we’re going to skip the issue in the summer.

We’re looking ahead to the fall, when Review will celebrate its 100th anniversary. Our summer assignment is to explore ways in which the magazine can continue to be an important part of the University community while also being good stewards of the University’s—and the world’s—resources.
