Department Colloquium This Friday!Richard Miller, Philosophy, East Carolina University, on the topic, "Doing Philosophy with Intuitions: A Practical Proposal." Morrill 107, 3pm Friday, 19 October.
Remember all that talk in the first session about good historians partaking of both the spirit of the amateur and the expertise of the professional? Following up on that, then--both amateurs (for the love of it) and professionals (as a matter of professional responsibility) take an interest in historical activities and events and support them.
