This morning's door-tag:




Isn't this a tad imperious, even for the U of C? The great seal, the Study for which University of Chicago is adequate identification, the declarative use of "will": all reduced me to serfdom before the second cup of coffee. I started to murmur condolences to my castrated dog on the approaching droit du seigneur.

The Latin motto Crescat Scientia Vita Excolatur is, roughly translated, "knowledge grows when no one is treated as human." At the U of C, even the social sciences aren't soft.
