...obligation to pass a healthy institution along to future generations. I would only note here that as to direct expenditures on behalf of students, financial aid--which is money directly into the pockets of many of our students--has in recent years been the number one priority. A bit more than a year ago the financial aid budget was increased by $9 million per year, including not just the new students but all currently enrolled financial aid students as well; though there were other worthy student needs to be considered, I am certain this was the right way to spend...

Projects that pair living stars with dead ones can and should inspire a bit of terror in music fans; such endeavors leave artists we love posthumously vulnerable to pairings with Celine Dion. Fortunately, the matches on Chant Down Babylon, smartly managed by Stephen Marley, are both engaging and respectful. One standout: Lauryn Hill and Bob, sharing laughs and warmth across decades on Turn Your Lights Down Low. "It didn't feel as if I was recording with someone who wasn't there," says Hill...
