...these reasons, I am really interested in hearing what you all think are the interrelations between the key themes in this class: Greek historians, American politicians, German excursions and the need for many of you to pass this class in order to graduate. I am also interested in your feedback about how section goes, and if you know where I can find the best coffee, alternative music and a tangerine turtleneck. Finally, I recommend telling me what you think of me as we go along. The worst CUE Guide ratings in the world won't hurt me, because...
This, of course, is no light heritage. The Greek site, Academe, was an Athenian public garden where philosophers met their students to discuss among the olive trees. Had he felt the symbolic weight of the future academic world on his shoulders, Plato could hardly have chosen a better spot.

It seems intellectually indefensible to argue that History 1071: "Introduction to Greek History," bestows a completely different version of the historian's perspective than Historical Study B-04: "Ancient Greek Democracy." However, according to the Core committee, the former course is not adequate to introduce students to methods of historical knowledge. Limiting undergraduates to a small selection of huge Core classes impedes...
