Undeterred, we continued making major additions to the collection. William Melvin Kelley contributed a remarkable short story entitled, “My Next to Last Hit.” Eileen Southern, who studied musicology at NYU before becoming the first African-American woman to earn full tenure at Harvard, wrote an essay about her pioneering experience.

Despite...
Further uptown, Union Square hosted a bustling donation site over the weekend, as volunteers from NYU and elsewhere accepted overwhelming gifts of food, clothing and rescue equipment for the rescue workers and those displaced by the collapse...
