Day 95.

I didn’t get all I wanted to accomplished today, but I had a piece of good news. Yale has renamed a residential college that it had formerly named after John C. Calhoun, a repellent racist whose singular “contribution” to society was advancing the cause of slavery, which he viewed as a “positive good.” (This article, by my friend Betsy, was written after the first time Yale considered renaming the college – and it decided not to.)

Today Yale announced it renamed the college after Grace Murray Hopper, Ph.D., Naval Rear Admiral and computer programming pioneer. It was the right thing to do, and Hopper is a much worthier choice.
