The End Is the Beginning

November 6, 2016
the-end

In 50 years of weekly and then daily publishing, The Chronicle has produced thousands of headlines for its news articles and opinion essays. Editors and reporters prize originality, but sometimes we fall back on, shall we say, formula. Over the past 50 years, we’ve started more than a few headlines with “The Education of…" (a Provost, Young Donors, a Scholar Who Chose to Become a Black Man) or “Who…" (Should Pay for Public Higher Education? Wrote the Serenity Prayer? Killed the Bugs at Kansas State?). We’ve gone down Route 101 as well (“Academic Relationships 101,” Smooching 101,” “Successful Plagiarism 101,” to name a few). In looking back at our headlines, though, we’re most amused at the variety of those announcing, or questioning, the end of things. Here’s a sampling.
