PUBLISHER'S LETTER
From the publisher
In this third issue of Ezra, we take a look at the experiences of some of the many Cornell undergraduates doing hands-on research. Cornell has long been a leader in involving undergraduates in research in all disciplines, making them an integral part of campus intellectual life and partners in scholarship and discovery. Our cover story shows you why involving young students in intellectual discovery is so important, especially in today's economic climate.
New features that debut in this issue include Ezra's version of the Cornell Chronicle section and online blog The Essentials, and a Cornell Books section, spotlighting new and notable publications from faculty and alumni.
