UD is...
"Salty." (Scott McLemee)
"Unvarnished." (Phi Beta Cons)
"Splendidly splenetic." (Culture Industry)
"Except for University Diaries, most academic blogs are tedious."
(Rate Your Students)
"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

Alumni News

UD finds this alumni note in the latest issue of the University of Chicago Magazine charming:

'39: Robert R. Reynolds, SB '39, is "still married after nearly 62 years and in good health for my nearly 90 years." He lives in "an upscale retirement community" in Arizona and is "active in our Nerd Club, an association of academics, science professionals, etc." He has written two books in the past three years. The latest is An Airplane was My Burro or the Memoirs of a Venturesome Geologist.
