Classics, timeless and timely - Opinions - The Collegian - Hillsdale College

Rush Limbaugh doesn't like classical studies. In a recent rant, he called it useless, out-of-touch, and as applicable to life as studying "raspberries." Like him, most people today have a hard time understanding how studying classics will translate into a job in the real world. Here at Hillsdale, we too sometimes struggle between studying the liberal arts and looking towards the job market.
If the GRE measures a student's success at grad school, maybe studying classics is not as worthless as it seems. Classics students consistently score among the highest on the GRE and are more likely to be accepted into medical school. "Classics majors consistently have some of the highest scores on GREs of all undergraduates," said the Princeton Review's profile on classics.

EUD: "Sign Languages as Endangered Languages"

Participants from 21 different countries travelled to Ål, Norway for a conference on the theme of "Sign Languages as Endangered Languages". Representatives from 14 National Associations of Deaf people were present, with a good percentage of these being represented by their Presidents.

As the conference proceeded over four days, it became clear that national sign languages have often flourished in specific institutions: schools for Deaf people. Historically, schools for Deaf children became sites for the development and transmission of sign languages, which in turn fostered the development of Deaf communities. [i] But in the present day, educational institutions for deaf people are no longer sites for promotion of sign languages.[ii] Conference participants saw that new technological developments and the pedagogies associated with these developments may have the consequence of endangering the status of some countries' national sign languages. [iii]

Javier Treviño Castro - Paul Valéry: la porosa pureza - Vanguardia

Gracias a Eugenia Flores Soria me entero de que el 30 de octubre anterior se celebró el 140 aniversario del nacimiento de Paul Valéry, (1871-1945), uno de los grandes poetas franceses contemporáneos, autor de poemas y ensayos fundamentales.
Leí —en traducción— a Valéry cuando era un muchacho y por mera casualidad. Mi primer maestro de artes plásticas se llamaba Pablo Valero, quien al tiempo que nos hacía trabajar, conversábamos. Cuando supo que este su lerdo alumno era un admirador de la poesía se acercó para hablar de ella, pues él también era un adicto. “Yo me llamo como uno de los grandes poetas franceses: Paul Valéry. ¿Lo conoces?” Claro que no. Entonces estaba ensimismado en Baudelaire, Hesse y Carroll, según recuerdo. Pronto me prestó un libro de Valéry y, por supuesto, quedé patidifuso.
