Introducing...

THE EDITORS BLOG (http://the-editors.blogspot.com)

The thoughts of three generations of Chicago Maroon Viewpoints Editors:

George L. Anesi ('03-'05), Andrew Hammond ('05-'06), and Alec Brandon ('06-present) represent three generations of Chicago Maroon Viewpoints Editors. The Chicago Maroon has been the independent student newspaper of the University of Chicago since 1892.


The Viewpoints Section of the Chicago Maroon serves as a medium for debating issues relevant to the University of Chicago, the greater academic community, and everything beyond. This blog serves as an extension of both the Viewpoints Section itself and its aims.
