Letter from the editor: Honoring the memory of Toby Woods ’27

Izzy Polanco
February 28, 2024

Dear readers,

I write to you with a heavy heart as we mourn the loss of Toby Woods ’27. My thoughts are with Toby’s family, friends, and all who were part of his life. I extend my sympathies to the College community as we grieve the loss of our classmate and friend.

In the coming weeks, the Record plans to publish an article in memoriam of Toby with stories from his family, friends, and peers. If you would like to contribute memories, please email me directly at [email protected].

Although this week’s coverage includes a full issue of the Record, this loss remains top of mind for us. As always, we welcome any questions, comments, or concerns regarding our coverage.

Yours in community and sorrow,

Izzy Polanco ’25

Editor-in-Chief
