Tuesday will be the first day of on-campus instruction for about 40% of elementary students in the country’s second-largest school district. For many, I expect the tears will be tears of joy.

Vartan Gregorian the former President of Brown University and global intellectual force who led the resurrection of the New York Public Library and headed one of the most important foundations in America has died.
His personality and influence dazzled Providence. He was friends with Vincent “Buddy” Cianci and top American executives. Gregorian was an intellectual tour de force. The ebullient Armenian immigrant who climbed to pinnacles of academic and philanthropic achievement but took a detour in the 1980s to restore a fading New York Public Library to its place at the heart of American intellectual life, died on Thursday in Manhattan. He was 87. The death, at a hospital, was confirmed by his son Dareh Gregorian. No cause was given,” writes the New York Times.
