Every few years, someone cleaning out an office or closet happens on a trove of New School history. The latest find includes course catalogs from the dean's office of the Adult Division in that division's heyday, when the appearance of the New School Bulletin was an event in the city's cultural calendar. Some of these ring-bound bulletins record which courses ran and which were cancelled - about 25% each time - so they're a precious complement to the digitized catalogs.
I've made sure those marked-up ones, full of notes, numbers and Xs, are on their way to the Archives. But it's also a joy to hold in my hand things I've only known in their digitized form before. The amazingly varied and invariably creative cover images always inspire... and discoveries await. Like that this cover drawn by Edward Sorel, which has featured in several retrospectives for its witty spin on images of evolution, continues on the back! "Educated Man" is not the end of the story!
