APU Celebrates the Fourth of July

July 03, 2003

"The [fourth] day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epocha in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commended as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward for evermore."

First Professor to Embark on Trek

January 31, 2003

"Oh God don't let anyone ask me to go on the winter trek. I am not physically prepared. I am 56 years old. I haven't put my body under that kind of stress in many years." This was my prayer and my excuses when I arrived at Bass Lake to teach the Art History course of the Great Works Program in January of 2003. The students arrived ready for a rigorous academic and physical schedule. They are so young and filled with so much energy was my thought. Was I like them when I was in college? Oh well, if I am real lucky I can bluff my way through any invitation to attend the trek. Twenty-five miles carrying 35 pounds in the snow, in a tent at night. I don't think so.
