Ten years ago, in its Spring 1996 issue, this magazine ran an article on couples who had met at Baruch, many of whom remained together for 40 and 50—and in one case, over 60—years. We thought we’d like to commemorate the 10th anniversary of that article, so we set out to see if Baruch still held its power as a place to “thoroughly pitch the woo,” as Cole Porter puts it. We placed a notice in BCAM asking alumni who found a spouse or significant other at Baruch to tell us their stories.
We received an overwhelming number of responses. Several of you confirm the belief of medieval poets that love enters through the eyes. For others, place proves important, whether the El train or the ninth floor lounge. In all cases, your testimony affirms Baruch’s continued ability not only to inspire a thirst for knowledge but also to ignite the fires of romance.
And we want to keep sharing the love. We urge those of you who met at Baruch—whether or not you’ve subsequently married or celebrated your partnership—to tell us your story. We’ll run it either in print or online.
—Michael Gillespie, Editor in Chief
