Letter from alumni: A response to Duke Students Supporting Israel

(01/16/24 5:00am)

We, concerned Duke alumni who are Jewish, are responding to Duke Students Supporting Israel’s Dec. 7 guest column. We share their abhorrence toward the October Hamas attack on Israel and with antisemitism in general, but we respectfully wish to offer some other valid interpretations of certain circumstances. We hope our guest column can enhance this important conversation — both within the Jewish community and externally.

The road to Wagner

(01/15/24 5:00am)

I have noticed that many students in top American schools were inclined towards the cultivation of music during their formative high school years — music was one of their essential extracurricular activities. I trained in vocal Indian classical music for years, but I lack the repertoire of any musical instrument, and I can't expeditiously read sheet music. I hold in esteem the mettle and proficiency exhibited by the adroit viola players, and I extend my unfeigned admiration to all the pianists and trumpet players at Duke.
