...comments like, “Actually, the privacy language in Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) is not as novel as one has been led to believe—in fact, the discussion of a constitutional ‘right to privacy’ dates back to an 1890 Harvard Law Review article by Samuel Warren and Louis Brandeis.” Notice in particular the use of explicit dates and the indefinite fourth-person referent “one” to get the full pompous effect that you’re going for.

Along with its “light” course load, Philosophy is famous for Professor Alison Simmons (who is very active in the ongoing curricular review and is the department’s Head Tutor) and her accessible but difficult Phil 8 class, “Introduction to the History of Early Modern Philosophy.” It’s the kind of class that people say is both the best and hardest they?...
