Gus Speth '64 has written about the factors which caused the Democrats’ defeat in the 2024 presidential election. The problem is the huge number of Americans who were drawn to Trump because they believe they have been shunted aside economically and socially and not helped by the Democrats. See the full essay here.




Sam Francis ’64 gave a talk at our 60th Reunion titled “Evolution ... From Soup to Nuts.” See an extended version of that talk here. The talk covers the history of life: its origin, its evolution, and its extinction.
