Where is the photo from? Is that the Charles River circa Cambridge, circa 1914? Or 1936 Olympics? Can't find it on the internet.

If Cambridge, it's an amazingly different view from now. My son's dorm from 2013 to 2015 was 10 floors up along the Charles where a more modern version of this same sight is common.

I have nothing against college, by the way -- except for the high costs, drinking and drug problems, promiscuity, exploitation of young people, ideological bias in teaching and grading, etc. In spite of that, my youngest son recently graduated with honors with his degree in physics and music. I'm proud enough to mention it here.

The very gods do battle in Tom Irregardless and Me: the god of education, the god of qualifications, the god of multi-tasking, the god of football, the god of the adversarial judicial system, the god of the sex offender registry, the god of scientific rigor, the god of blood transfusions.

Take cover while they thrash it out! Will any be left standing? Who cares? They're all morons anyway.

They have nothing against college. But really should we be making a career of extending our material world, since we truly believe this one is ending, right? I got my degree, but ledtthe field because it called me away from my spiritual duties as family head of household. There were other ways to care for sustenance and covering, and put spiritual things first, as was advised by scripture. If we remember, our very Lord and Master stated he did not even have a place to lay his own head. He left the family business to take up his heavenly Father's will, the ministry. If we are followers, why not follow?
