Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh: Why Christmas?

A really excellent, succinct and accurate website I found as a source for all things Christmas.

Why Christmas?

Something To Think About

There are few earthly things more beautiful than a University. It is a place where those who hate ignorance may strive to know, where those who perceive truth may strive to make other see; where seekers and learners alike, banded together in the search for knowledge will honor thought in all its finer ways, will welcome thinkers in distress, or in exile; will uphold ever the dignity of thought and learning and will exact standards in these things. There are few things more splendid than a University. In these days of broken frontiers and collapsing values, when every future looks somewhat grim, and every ancient foothold has become something of a quagmire; wherever a University stands, it stands and shines; wherever it exists, the free minds of men, urged on to full and fair inquiry, may still bring wisdom into human affairs. - John Masefield
