| | In memoriam Dr. Gruenke and Dr. Smith
"And he said, 'Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father's house - for I have five brothers - in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.' But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.' But he said, 'No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!' But he said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.'"
--Luke 16:27-31
[P.S. I humbly ask everyone not to use this set of resignations as an opportunity to ridicule the college or people with whom you disagree. One of the marks of a fool in the Proverbs is sloth. Such a vice is reflected not only physically but intellectually as well. It is easy to snipe from a distance, unseen. It is easy to whine about problems which everyone already recognizes. It is easy to attach ideals of justice to a new cause. But it is difficult - very difficult - to see tough situations as an opportunity to reform your own life. Apparent action speaks a great deal louder than anonymous words; the day is carried by men who would hold to the truth no matter the response of their social group, and not by sheep who feel uncomfortable conversing with the other camp's rubes.]

Gotta disagree with you heartily, but it's a pleasure to disagree with someone with a position.
