“It’s important check your course information each semester” "Why do we insist on measuring it with a micrometer when we mark it with chalk and cut it with an axe?" ---Peter Ewell "Alice: Would you please tell me which way I ought to go from here? Cheshire Cat: That depends on where you want to get about any given issue." (Steiner, P., 1965.)
