I was talking to my students yesterday about how much we lose when we simply think of college as something to be got through.
Thinking a lot lately about the simple fact that college allows people to spend about 15 weeks immersed in a disciplinary conversation with an expert in that field. And what a special thing that is.

Lovely end to the week - 'John Gielgud on Air: 65 Years of Performing Shakespeare on Radio' out now in Shakespeare Survey. It shows that not only was he a leading stage actor, but he was an audio drama pioneer too.

the images will form part of MILTON'S LIBRARY, an open-access site featuring the 10 books positively identified as milton's w/ transcriptions/translations of his marginal notes.
