Six months after
Wrighton: 'This community has responded well' On March 11, the six-month anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton distributed the following e-mail message to the University community:
Today, six months since the devastating terrorist events in New York City, Washington, D.C., and rural Pennsylvania, the Washington University community continues to remember those difficult days. It is fitting and right that this episode in our nation's history not be quickly forgotten. Perhaps the best that we in academia -- students, faculty and administration -- have to offer during these troubled times is our intellect, our understanding of the world, and our ongoing commitment to learning and discovery.
Chancellor Wrighton's full statement
Kennedy Camelot and corporate arrogance. Small-town values and the faded glories of big-time horse racing. Such are the unlikely juxtapositions presented in American Storm, University playwright Carter Lewis' world-premiere drama that will run March 21-24 in the A.E. Hotchner Studio Theatre in Mallinckrodt Student Center. Full story |

Analyses offer new perspective on human origin
Analyses of recently derived human genetic trees by the University's Alan R. Templeton, Ph.D., show that there were at least two major waves of human migration out of Africa. DNA evidence also suggests that these wanderers bred with the people they encountered, rather than replacing them, in a "make-love-not-war," scenario.
Templeton, the Charles Rebstock Professor of Biology in Arts & Sciences, combined evidence from many different populations and many different genes in an analysis to reconstruct their movement and history.
