From that vantage point, many of the College and University’s icons assert themselves: Hamilton Hall and Low and Butler Libraries; the pedestal on which once rose the Sundial; the seat where Alma Mater still watches over all. Geographically speaking, this is where the red pin drops: You are here, at Columbia. And so I am, and I’m thrilled and grateful for the oppor- tunity. It’s my second go with Columbia College Today.

Tey defne and bond us. Columbia College is no exception to this principle. We have, among others, the Core Curriculum, Convocation for frst-years, the Senior Dinner and Class Day for seniors, sitting on the Low Steps on sunny days, and long days and nights studying in Hamilton and Butler, respectively. Another tradition we have is an excellent alumni magazine, Columbia Col- lege Today, which is published quarterly. About 19 years ago, after a suc- cessful career as a sports journalist and author, Alex Sachare ’71 became its editor. Tis development was the College’s great fortune. From the start, Alex understood the importance of emphasizing consis- tency and respect for the College’s rich history while incorporating novel and entertaining features that appeal to our varied constituencies and gen- erations. Each issue featured Alex’s and/or the dean’s message, Around the Quads news items, reports on our athletic teams’ achievements, a message from the Columbia College Alumni Association, updates on new books penned by alumni and professors, Class Notes and Obituaries. Alex and his staf, plus a team of freelance writers, wrote in-depth articles about alumni, students exploring the world, rising faculty stars — as well as legendary pro- fessors — and campus issues. Tank you, Alex, for your many years of great work and service to the College community. I hope this is not a full “retirement” and that occasionally you’ll still put on your writer’s hat and contribute your wisdom and warmth to CCT.

  • Dear READER, Winter/Spring 2021 SQUARE BOOKS TOP 100 of 2020 to Understate It—2020 Was Not Square Books’ Best Year
    Dear READER, Winter/Spring 2021 SQUARE BOOKS TOP 100 OF 2020 To understate it—2020 was not Square Books’ best year. Like everyone, we struggled—but we are grateful to remain in business, and that all the booksellers here are healthy. When Covid19 arrived, our foot-traffic fell precipitously, and sales with it—2020 second-quarter sales were down 52% from those of the same period in 2019. But our many loyal customers adjusted along with us as we reopened operations when we were more confident of doing business safely. The sales trend improved in the third quarter, and November/December were only slightly down compared to those two months last year. We are immensely grateful to those of you who ordered online or by phone, allowing us to ship, deliver, or hold for curbside pickup, or who waited outside our doors to enter once our visitor count was at capacity. It is only through your abiding support that Square Books remains in business, ending the year down 30% and solid footing to face the continuing challenge of Covid in 2021. And there were some very good books published, of which one hundred bestsellers we’ll mention now. (By the way, we still have signed copies of many of these books; enquire accordingly.) Many books appear on this list every year—old favorites, if you will, including three William Faulkner books: Selected Short Stories (37th on our list) which we often recommend to WF novices, The Sound and the Fury (59) and As I Lay Dying (56), as well as a notably good new biography of Faulkner by Michael Gorra, The Saddest Words: William Faulkner’s Civil War (61).
