Letters to the Editor
In these sad days in Lebanon and indeed, the World, I am certain the whole IC Community is looking for better days, especially on the home front.
For those of us who graduated in the fifties when almost everything was smooth and full of happiness - thankfully the IC Spirit is still full of joys from the past. And also with great memories!
After over 40 years serving on the IC Board, I am happy to note high positive signs at IC in spite of sad issues and indeed mainly no progress on the political front in Lebanon: only divisions, feuds, conspiracies, and ongoing poor governance and corruption.
We thus pray for honorable parliamentary elections next May, and results that would pave the way for a Resurrection ! And I fear and pray that IC and other international educational institutions will not be submitted to equivalents to Izmir Turkish Days of the past, and tighter negative interventions as to freedom and quality education.
And with hope that the IC spirit would always prevail !
Miracles seldom happen, yet it may be the only way out for our beloved country.
Sincerely, Elie Sehnaoui ‘56
I remember that last year at IC so vividly. It was a year
of hope and new beginnings. Sitting on the rail and benches next to Rockefeller hall was the ‘ thing to do’ with my friend Mandana. IC, to me, is a spirit, a way of life, an openness and acceptance to differences along the way, and a forever feeling of belonging.
