To the Editor: As the members of Boar Pen, we would like to respond to an opinion piece published two weeks ago titled “Yes, Your Hawaiian-Themed Event is Appropriative.” The article attempted to align our club with racist and appropriative behaviors, suggesting malicious intent and insensitivity of the club leaders.Read More

Dear Class of 2016, I remember my last moments on Choate’s campus. I was standing in the doorway of Memorial House Room 304. It was the room I had moved into my freshman year in 2010 and the room that I had spent my senior year in as a MemRead More

To the Editor, I read with great interest the Editor’s Note in your September 25 issue, in which you advised the community that its newspaper would now be called The Choate News. This is an unfortunate decision which does very little to acknowledge the students who joined our community inRead More
