Corrections
A story and a photo caption in the Sept. 14 edition contained an incorrect spelling
in title of Professor Clifford Pollock's named professorship. Pollock is the Ilda and
Charles Lee Professor of Electrical Engineering.
A profile of new faculty member Assistant Professor Shawkat M. Toorawa
also contained a misspelling. We regret the error and publish his profile again, below.
