Berkeley Blogs

Filed under: Art & Culture — by Joyce Cole @ 12:53 pm

UC Berkeley has opened up its walls in a new offering called The Berkeley Blog where professors are invited to respond to hot events in the news.  So far, about 150 professors have signed up.   Check it out.

The Berkeley Blog

Perhaps even more interesting is posting of the Graduate Council Lectures on-line, some of them from decades ago.  Such luminaries Aldous Huxley, Stephen Hawking,  John Dewey in 1931…the list goes on.  You could turn off the TV for weeks!

Words for Acts

An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best of laws. He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
