The Four Chaplains, also sometimes referred to as the Immortal Chaplains or the Dorchester Chaplains were four United States Army chaplains who gave their lives to save other civilian and military personnel as the troop ship USAT Dorchester sank on February 3, 1943, during World War II. They helped other soldiers board lifeboats and gave up their own life jackets when the supply ran out. The chaplains joined arms, said prayers, and sang hymns as they went down with the ship.

Illinois Wesleyan University alum Dave Kindred is a legendary sportswriter. But Kindred says he didn t write about sports as much as he wrote about people.
Kindred s latest work is a stark departure from the work that encapsulated most of his career, but it is about some of the people dearest to him.
“I loved him in ways that I never loved anybody,” Kindred said of his relationship with grandson Jared, the subject of Kindred’s new memoir titled Leave Out The Tragic Parts that was published on Tuesday.
Kindred tells the story of his grandson’s struggle with addiction and how substance abuse cost him his life at age 25.

Mayo Clinic
A Mayo Clinic vaccine researcher and Illinois Wesleyan University graduate says he s not surprised some people don t want to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
A December survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation found about one in four Americans (27%) probably or definitely didn’t plan on getting the shots, even if they were available for free and are deemed safe by scientists.
The survey found vaccine hesitancy was highest among Republicans (42%), people ages 30-49 (36%), and rural residents (35%). Black Americans also demonstrated more hesitancy than the general population (35%).
Dr. Greg Poland, director of the Mayo Clinic’s Vaccine Research Group, said unwillingness to get immunized often boils down to a lack of understanding of the science.
