Dear Reader,

Thanks for picking up the first edition of The Fenwick Review of the new decade and of the spring semester!

We are in the midst of a pivotal time both on our campus and in our nation. As the College prepares to implement a new Freedom of Expression policy and the United States gears up for November’s presidential election, much about our future remains uncertain and we remain dangerously divided.

As we embark on this new semester, this new election cycle, and this new decade, we hope we can strive for common understanding and mutual respect, regardless of what might happen in the coming months. This issue features commentary on the presidential primaries, the March for Life, the death of Qasem Soleimani, and more. Though none of us at the Review claim to have all the answers or know what lies ahead, we hope the analyses in the coming pages of this magazine will, at the very least, provide some valuable insights.

We wish all of our readers the very best this semester!

Seamus Brennan ’20 & Jack Rosenwinkel ’21

Co-Editors-in-Chief
