A Faithful Correspondent 

Accolades for another great Indicator. I believe that the Spring 2026 issue sets a new standard in terms of content and layout. I never imagined that the 1951 class log would ever become the lead log. And I am really impressed with how you illustrated it, especially with the pic of our very own Stevens Band that provided our graduation music in the Walker Gym. I will provide another 1951 class log for the Fall ’26 issue (Editor’s Note: See Charley’s Class of '51 log in this issue's Alumni Logs), but I rely on contacts, and a large-key keyboard and a Marlin reading machine. Both are on extended loan from the indispensable Lighthouse for the Blind of Fort Worth. A friend of mine’s favorite saying: Keep on keepin’ on.

More Hoboken Hotspots 

Enjoyed reading Charles O’Brien’s article, “The 07030 Experience,” in the Spring 2026 Indicator. Had a few thoughts on other favorites “back in the day”: Schaefer’s Diner, down by the train station, and Pat’s, on River Street opposite the docks.

Strong Leadership on AI 

I was happy to read about the establishment of a School of Computing in the Spring ’26 issue of Stevens Indicator and President Farvardin’s discussion of AI in “The View.” It is clear that AI is a transformative technology, so I have been following stories about it closely. I was particularly pleased with his statements concerning the “ethical responsibilities that come with that power” and our need for “evaluating their ethical dimensions, understanding their security implications and anticipating their impact on society.” We need to harness the power of AI (and science and engineering in general) to address the many issues facing our society and our future. President Farvardin’s strong leadership in moving Stevens in that direction is much appreciated.
