I have that warm, fuzzy feeling you get when you add A Room of One's Own to a syllabus.

I like much of what Neil Verma has to say about the defensive The Humanities Are Dead essay. He admits near the end, though, that he doesn't know what the alternative is yet. May I propose Humanities!: The Musical?

Oh, dear. Alma mater, could you please stop doing so many embarrassing things?

Humanities! A new 3D, stereophonic, cinemascopic animated comedy musical romance sci-fi adventure from Pixar!

You're right, I bet there'd be more grant funding for the kinetoscope.

I should hope so!
