Quote of the Day (Ambrose Bierce, on Ancient vs. Modern Schools)


“Academe, n. An ancient school where morality and philosophy were taught.
Academy, n. (from academe). A modern school where football is taught.”—Ambrose Bierce, The Devil’s Dictionary (1906)


Something to think about if you, like myself, graduated from a high school where football was all the rage...
