people to learn, but actually diminishing the
severity of the illness itself. (Daniel Bergmann)

Fellow students on these forums really
gave the sense that I wasn't just sitting in my
office working on it by myself. The spirit of
cooperation and information sharing has
been far more than any “non-virtual”
course I ever took. (Sanjaya Kumar)

College is a place where a professor’s lecture
notes go straight to the students’ lecture
notes, without passing through
the brains of either.
—Edwin Emery Slosson
—Plutarch
from Ian Kidd's translation of Essays
The mind is not a vessel that
needs filling, but wood that
needs igniting.
