Neil, thank you for sharing this resource. I am sure that other participants will find it useful in their studies.

Her vision calls for lots of one-on-one interactions between professor and student, deep engagement with primary sources, highly individual majors, and the destruction of the traditional academic department. It's a lofty goal that takes plenty of hard work to keep on course.
