However you feel about the lovefest nature of the class, we at Dartboard feel the enormous turnout, mentioned repeatedly by the professors, is a testament to the dire need for such innovative academic opportunities at the University. These professors are willing to take risks not only with the content of what they are teaching but also with an interactive class format (that distinctly reminds us of what Harvard's brochures made us think education here would...

It is testament to his extraordinary stature in the Middle Ages that not only was Saladin the sole "modern" mentioned--he had been dead barely 100 years when Dante wrote--but also that a man who had made his name successfully battling Christianity would be lionized by the author of perhaps the most Christ-centered verse ever penned...
