wow.

So Kenyon has lost another first-year student... and apparently he did the same thing I did freshman year, vasovagal syncope early in the morning in the dorm bathroom. I, however, came out of it merely concussed. I just read the Collegian article and it shook me up a bit.

I don't really know what else to say... there's an even stranger connection, because his last name is Gottinger, which is almost certainly derived from the name of the city in Germany where I lived last year.

I never met this young man. He sounds like a wonderful person. He and his family will be in my prayers.
