Western through the decades Foreword to Looking Back Section: As the daughter of both a Western grad and a born-and- raised Londoner, I grew up hearing stories about my parents’ experiences as young people in London. Comments like, “That place is still open?” or “Oh, I had a class in this room!” were a constant refrain. Looking back at old photos, I’m continually reminded that even in a world so transformed by cellphones, dating apps, and social media, the university experience endures. This series draws from a variety of sources, including the now- extinct Occidentalia Western yearbook. I hope current students will see more of themselves in these pages than they might expect, because in the end, our lives are far more similar than we think.
