An editorial written by Hamilton College President Eugene Tobin was recently published in The Philadelphia Inquirer, in which Tobin challenges and attempts to redefine common perceptions regarding diversity. Tobin claims that, "...purely representational diversity can never be the only means for achieving the plurality of ideas necessary for a meaningful college education and for a fulfilling life."

Professor of the Classics Carl Rubino was recently quoted in an article from The Bergen County Record debating the true inspiration for the Star Wars films. While many sci-fi writers claim that George Lucas' source for many of his ideas and characters came from earlier pulp magazines, Rubino remains staunch in his belief that the classics played the most important role in providing inspiration for the films. Rubino was quoted as saying, "You see Star Wars and you read Virgil, and you see the similarities right away."
