haverford college

posted by catherine / July 11, 2005 /

not too many people outside of the midatlantic seaboard have probably heard of haverford college. it's a small liberal arts school in pennsylvania. my father got his BA there, so i've had the privilege of visiting several times. when i was 15, my dearest wish was to attend haverford, though that changed by the time i thought seriously about schools. i ended up choosing between uva and dartmouth, not even having applied to haverford.

but, being interested in journalism, maybe i should have reconsidered that whole haveford thing, especially after my father pointed out the journalistic powerhouse people that have come out of the school. check it out:

  • loren ghiglione, dean of the medill school of journalism (though i swear that had nothing to do with this or this. at least, i don't think it did, unless my dad is way more mobster than i thought).
  • john carroll, editor of the LA times.
  • norman effin' pearlstine. editor-in-chief of a little org known as time, inc. also slightly involved in this plame dust up.
    AND
  • dave barry!

    liberal arts (and quaker) conspiracy, or sheer coincidence? i'll let you decide.
