Feature stories

Carm’s Last Call
by Randall Beach
After 34 years at Yale, Carmen Cozza is retiring as head coach of the foootball team. A look back at his career—the wins, the losses, and, of course, The Tie—reveals a man who is known as much for his teaching as for his athletic stewardship.

Culture from Scratch
by Annie Murphy Paul
War, civil strife, the rise of Communism and its fall have all taken a toll on the universities of Eastern Europe. A conference held in New Haven this summer brought educational leaders from several nations together with Yale professors to explore how the humanities can rebuild cultural identities as well as schools.

The Changing Face of the Campus Cop
by Jennifer Kaylin
A century ago, Yale’s campus was a refuge from most worldly problems, but the 79 men and women who make up today’s university police force must deal with all the challenges that face every modern city. To keep Yale safe, campus cops reply on a blend of sophisticated technology and “community policing,” the old-fashioned technique of keeping close ties to the neighborhood.
