5 December. The Study Guide for Exam 2 is now available. The links on the sidebar have been repaired.
2 December. We WILL have class today.
30 November.  NO CLASS TODAY. Class is cancelled because of the weather. (This does not apply to other classes at WSU.) We'll continue with the reports and Charles Eastman on Friday.
21 November. Here's some writing
from Mark Twain to enjoy over the Thanksgiving holiday.
From Mark Twain's Notebooks :
- It is more trouble to make a maxim than it is to do right.
- Of all
God's creatures there is only one that cannot be made the slave of
the lash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with
the cat it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat (236-37).
- "Put
all your eggs in one basket--and watch that basket" Andrew
Carnegie (231).
- There
are those who scoff at the schoolboy, calling him frivolous and shallow. Yet
it was a schoolboy who said: "Faith is believing what
you know ain't so." (237).
- Truth is stranger than fiction--to some people,but
I am measurably familiar with it (240).
- It takes me a long time to
lose my temper, but once lost I could not find it with a dog (240).
- We
easily perceive that the people furtherest from civilization are the
ones where equality of man and woman are furtherest apart--and we consider
this one of the signs of savagery. But we are so stupid
that we can't see that we thus plainly admit that no civilization can
be perfect until exact equality between man and woman is included (256).
- We
are nothing but echoes. We have no thoughts of our own, no
opinions of our own, we are but a compost heap made up of the decayed
heredities, moral and physical (312).
- If Christ were here now, there
is one thing he would not be--a Christian (328).
