Julian Blye '20 and his cousin, Karin Ralston Brown '00, don't overlap in their time at Knox, but their interests in computer science do. Brown majored in computer science 20 years ago, and now Blye plans to follow in her footsteps. "She had a great experience here; I'm looking forward to a good education, and this is a great place to do it," he said.

Blye is one of 28 new students who are legacies, or students who followed a relative to Knox. Allison MacDonald is following her Aunt, Jennifer Frier Sarna ‘96. Jini John is following her brother Jim John ‘14. Mari Hockett is following her parents, David Hockett '83 and Shari Yanga '83.
