This Classical Life

I was extremely pleased to see that Holden Thorp will be Carolina’s next chancellor. Though I didn’t take any of his classes, I did interact with him many times during my college career, mostly in my capacity as the university photographer’s assistant. He was always kind and gracious, and I remember someone telling me then that he would be chancellor someday. In the twenty-first century, it’s wonderful that a man who only applied to one university and came back there to make his career in teaching and research, could be chosen to lead the institution that he loves. He’s also young enough to lead for quite some time, perhaps like Frank Porter Graham. May his tenure be filled with great accomplishments as the University continues to serve North Carolina and the world.

I wrote a review for Catapult last week, you can see it here. Not surprisingly, I reviewed the Jesus Storybook Bible. Red Mountain now sells it on the book table, local people. Thank you, John P.
