OIn St. Patrick’s church in Jaffrey, NH, on April - Zander Sprague ’87 14, 2007, that number took on a human face as youth and age, students and graduates, past and present faculty, parents, friends and family gathered to honor Chris Horgan. Spilling over church pews, aisles, and the choir loft - every inch of the church - were those “touched ones” standing shoulder to shoulder with tears in their eyes, a full circle, a human ring of emotion and love. They had come from as far away as California, Beijing, and Dubai – these people whose lives Chris Horgan touched, and they had many anecdotes and memories to share about this man. In his remarks, Dean of Students, John Marquis, recalled that “Chris had a great humility about him, as well Lajla LeBlanc Photo by as a great understanding of human nature. He could see the promise in everyone he met.” Chris Horgan, people will tell you, believed in second chances. On April 10th and many days since, promises have been affi rmed and chances have been taken. Actually, in many ways, this gift of seeing the promise in people and taking chances is the embodiment of the Dublin way. It is, at its core, what Dublin is all about. Chris Horgan had a unique ‘knack’ for hearing and appreciating where each of these people were in lease help keep his/her life. He had a genuine respect for each person’s current place or situation, and, if he could, offered ideas and solutions to help. Chris was many things to many people. He was a listener, but also an excellent storyteller. He loved the small ironies of everyday life. He loved a good ball game, a good Chinese dinner, and a good episode of the family together “Seinfeld.” His mischievous sense of humor could turn the tense moment into a far less serious one. Chris Horgan P did not take himself too seriously, and he did not let you take yourself too seriously either. He had a passion for tennis and teaching others how to play. He could (and would) quote any fact about any by supporting Dublin today match ever played by any player. In his psychology course, Chris delighted in helping his students understand the roots of their behavior. On campus, his offi ce as both Dean of Students and Headmaster was a place of sanctuary to share a story, voice a concern, or simply sit and take in the view. through your gift to the Chris was a dedicated husband, father, grandfather and friend. He was an insatiable reader, a Klingenstein Fellow, a psychologist, a coach, and a teacher. Chris was a Dean of Students, a CEO, and our Headmaster. He was a general of Mountain Day, rallying his troops up the slopes of the Grand Monadnock. He took the reins of this little school on this humble hill called Dublin, and he effected a steady ride into a more secure future. Chris Horgan “got” Annual Fund. Dublin. And better still, he “kept” Dublin in his heart and mind while guiding it carefully with common sense and love. His job is done now, and the rest of us are left to do our job – learning to say goodbye. Christopher Reagan Horgan Every person makes a difference. Every gift makes a difference.

  • 50 Years of Data Science
    50 years of Data Science David Donoho Sept. 18, 2015 Version 1.00 Abstract More than 50 years ago, John Tukey called for a reformation of academic statistics. In `The Future of Data Analysis', he pointed to the existence of an as-yet unrecognized science, whose subject of interest was learning from data, or `data analysis'. Ten to twenty years ago, John Chambers, Bill Cleveland and Leo Breiman independently once again urged academic statistics to expand its boundaries beyond the classical domain of theoretical statistics; Chambers called for more emphasis on data preparation and presentation rather than statistical modeling; and Breiman called for emphasis on prediction rather than inference. Cleveland even suggested the catchy name \Data Science" for his envisioned field. A recent and growing phenomenon is the emergence of \Data Science" programs at major universities, including UC Berkeley, NYU, MIT, and most recently the Univ. of Michigan, which on September 8, 2015 announced a $100M \Data Science Initiative" that will hire 35 new faculty. Teaching in these new programs has significant overlap in curricular subject matter with tradi- tional statistics courses; in general, though, the new initiatives steer away from close involvement with academic statistics departments. This paper reviews some ingredients of the current \Data Science moment", including recent commentary about data science in the popular media, and about how/whether Data Science is really different from Statistics. The now-contemplated field of Data Science amounts to a superset of the fields of statistics and machine learning which adds some technology for `scaling up' to `big data'. This chosen superset is motivated by commercial rather than intellectual developments.

Depending on a person’s age – more specifically, when they attended school in this country – almost everyone has either taken the PCPFS’ physical fitness test, been educated about healthy living through its printed materials, or heard lifestyle messages from its spokespeople. With overweight and obesity rising in children and adults at near-emergency rates over the past two decades (since 1980), the message of the PCPFS is more rele- vant than ever. But to envision what the PCPFS must do, we must first look back at what it has been charged to do from the beginning. Alarmed by studies he had conducted, Dr.
