Kandinsky didn't paint much during the war years, but in 1921 he was asked to join the staff of the forward-looking Bauhaus art school in Germany, and the chance to teach turned his creative light up full again. His theories about pure form and color became student exercises; this was when he started painting his signature hard-edged abstracts: bright, lighthearted, with their own internal logic. Black lines, now severely clear-cut, are a skeleton for vividly colored shapes on a pale background. New motifs appear: jagged saw teeth, rainbows, triangles, circles.

As the big game begins, Mike learns from his girlfriend Scarlet that she is pregnant. Stunned, he leaves the court, feeling his duty is his destiny. Flash-forward 20 years and the cheers have faded.

The administration’s decision to frustrate efforts to incorporate Great Books into the undergraduate curriculum suggests that the school has decided against changing the Core in any meaningful way. Dispirited, the ad hoc committee that was considering the issue, led by forward-thinking Professors David Armitage and Marjorie Garber, will no longer even meet. By framing the debate around Gen Ed in fundamentally semantic terms (look above at the main fruits of a ponderously lengthy curricular review!), the faculty has forfeited the right to be taken seriously as teachers. Considering the quantum...
