Frederick W. Cropp wrote a small piece entitled '0 "The Music \Ve Seldom Hear." In it, he bemoans the fact that few church gaers the Harpsichord and Church Mwic ever listen to the postlude played by their organist.

To judge from the exit rush, he is the only one who might possibly ROIERT SCHUN.MAN be paying any attention." Mr. Cropp goes on to relate his experience while ,'isiting a suburban church in the Washington, D.C. area (we know yia the grapevine that it was Bradley Hills DOROTHY ROSER Presbyterian Church, Hctlu.-sda.

    GRIMMELMANN, THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A COMPUTER-AUTHORED WORK, 39 COLUM. J.L. & ARTS 403 (2016) There’s No Such Thing as a Computer-Authored Work— And It’s a Good Thing, Too* James Grimmelmann** INTRODUCTION I would like to talk about computer-authored works—I would like to, except that they don’t exist. Copyright law doesn’t recognize computer programs as authors, and it shouldn’t.1 Some day it might make sense to, but if that day ever comes, copyright will be the least of our concerns. Instead, I will say something about why computer authorship is such a “bad penny of a question,” to use Annemarie Bridy’s felicitous phrase, even though it is so utterly speculative.2 The scholarship pondering the possibility of computer- authored works is surprisingly extensive, even though no one has ever exhibited even one work that could plausibly claim to have a computer for an “author” in the sense that the Copyright Act uses the term.3 * This Essay is based on a talk that was given on October 2, 2015, at the Kernochan Center Annual Symposium at Columbia Law School. ** Professor of Law, University of Maryland. My thanks to Aislinn Black, Annemarie Bridy, Bruce Boyden, Timothy McGovern, Christina Spiesel, and the participants in the Kernochan Center Symposium “Copyright Outside the Box” for their suggestions.

Contact Director of Alumni Relations Laura Miller at [email protected] or (703) 749-6356. Dear Potomac Community, I began this school year with an expressed priority to meet as many people in the Potomac community as possible and to learn more about our School’s rich history and culture. As alumni, parents, and friends, you have been generous with your time and insights. Whether at a parent event in McLean or alumni gatherings in New York or Washington, I enjoyed many lively conversations and came away inspired by your fierce commitment to the School’s mission: to prepare students to achieve academically and, importantly, to lead a healthy, principled, and successful life. Several stories in this issue of the Term feature alumni who are living out the School’s mission. Olivia Pavco-Giaccia ’12 and Christina Fennell ’12 are building the next generation of scientists and engineers, while other young alumni have taken up the cause of a Kenyan school that is doing remarkable work in one of the world’s most impoverished areas. The cover story about Matt Stinchcomb ’93 may strike a chord with many of you. Once an indie-rock guitar hero, Matt is now a top executive with Etsy, a booming online marketplace. As he builds this pioneering company, Matt is helping ensure that Etsy devotes itself to more than profits.

The attention of members of the Society is again called to the urgent need for an adequate endowment fund. Our pos- sessions are wonderful, but lack of means has prevented their proper exploitation, so that they are largely inaccessible to students. Rare items of Maryland interest frequently escape us because no funds are available for their purchase.

DEWEb:S PREFACE, The writing of the memoirs of my life, which 1 have now completed has been the utmost theme and ambition of my life for the past quarter of a century, being born and reared up iu central West Virginia and passed all my life amid the changing scenes that have gone to bring about the changes that have lead up to the conditions progress and advancements wrought during the past eighty three years, I feel that my mission in life is practically finished, the sands of time with me are almost run, I am only biding time when soon I shall pass from the scenes of this life to the realities of the hereafter from the born of which no wonderer has ever returned. In the recording the historical, geneology of the i^ioneer settlers and reminiscenes I have solely relied upon my memory and whatever mistakes that I may have made are purely of the head not from the heart, for I have endeavored to speak the truth and treat all with fairness and justice for I have naught againt any man, but good will for all, with a sense of a man's duty toward his fellow man I have the kindest feeling for humanity and as an affinal, bid all God's speed and that we may all meet in a hereafter where all will be one eternity of brotherhood.
