Most of the day was spent in class, but I snuck in an hour or so of running afterward.
An interesting article popped on the Internet up this afternoon. Harvard University is planning to reintroduce mandatory courses in religion, U.S. history and ethics. The idea of a more structured curriculum is a good one and, hopefully, it begins to spread to other schools.

Although I have in general been oppose dto anything which takes freedom of curricular choice away from students at the college level, there is great potential in exposing students to learning that they may not presently realize is tremendously valuable. Religion, ethics, and history are valuable in any profession, any arena where the person interacts with others. Go Harvard.
