A way with words

By Mark Alden Branch ’86 | 10:11am October 16 2017

Happy 259th birthday to Yale’s own Noah Webster, lexicographer, founder of New York’s first daily newspaper, and champion of an American culture distinct from Britain’s. If not for him, we’d still be sending our neighbours to gaol for publick offences.

    You learn something new everyday!

    Nice play on spelling/words.

    A sense of humor is a must in today's world.
