  • Beamer tutorial
  • From Professor Rosemary Bailey's homepage, the vision of a university is ``the belief in (i) a community of scholars and not a confederacy of self-seekers; (ii) the idea of openness and not ownership; (iii) the professor as a pursuer of truth and not an entrepreneur; (iv) the student as an acolyte whose preferences are to be formed, not a consumer whose preferences are to be satisfied.''
