My student knows the student Lawton in the article and says it is a good description of him and a UChicago class.
It certainly was bittersweet last weekend when my student graduated. Marlowe - thank you for your comments over the years because they rang true to my student. UChicago provided so many opportunities and so much support during the four years. Although my student says they could have been happy at lots of colleges, it was clear that my student and UChicago were best suited for each other.
