It Takes the Cake If the cake on the cover of this issue looks somehow familiar, then you're a longtime reader. The January 1978 edition of an earlier university magazine, Northeastern Today, shows former president Carl Ell celebrating his 90th birthday. Ell, who joined the school as a faculty member in 1910-when it was still the YMCA's Co-operative School of Engineering-and stayed for nearly five decades, retiring in 1959, was a prominent member of the multitude who created Northeastern, shaped it, and made it what it is today. Now, on the university's 100th birthday, this special issue of Northeastern University Alumni Magazine celebrates all those who have made the next 100 years possible. We look forward to the 200th anniversary cake. - The editors
