Universitas Taijitorum - A solid presence in the City

[PoD Gunner]

Beloved Taijituans, young or old,

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced, as old Vince VanGogh use to say to his students. With the opening of the Taijituan University, some of our fellows have undertaken the task to offer you the chance of drinking from the fountain of infinite wisdom that is knowledge, and I don't just mean Wiki.
Having and developing a University is a chance we can all benefit from, and I am pleased to see it growing, and to notice that some of us are willing to help it do that.

Now, following some of those efforts, Allama, our MoC, has decided it was time for the University to step up and receive its separate board in the City. I might add I have weighed that decision too, and found it good. If it is too soon for that, it is up to us to show.
With that, I await the opening statement of the MoC and wish you all a productive time within these halls. And remember two more things: Number 1. Had you watched an apple fall from the tree more closely, you could have been Newton, and number 2. No! Keeping an open mind will not cause your brain to fall out.

Enjoy,
Gunner.

Dearest Taijituans,

Transparency is my motto, so I'll lay out our plans for this University for you.  We desire to make this a place of learning, musings, and intellectual exploration.  I encourage anyone who would like to give a lecture to do so; do not feel fettered by the boundaries of topics already covered.  Starting a class on an entirely out-of-left-field sort of subject is quite accepted, if you feel so inclined.  Please do post in the Academy Rollcall topic when you decide to start writing a lecture.

Here are a couple words on organization: Once a few more lectures have been posted and we have an idea of what general areas of study are represented, we'll begin to open topical childboards.  For now, clearly, everything is together in a single forum.

In regards to the efforts that have gone and continue to go into the operation and promotion of this academy, I feel it quite appropriate to extend hearty thanks and appreciation to Solnath.  Hear, hear!

In closing, I thank all of those who have posted lectures, begun the writing process, or simply considered doing so in the first place.  The success of this venture will be the result of the contributions of our community, in whom I place my utmost confidence.

Sincerest Love and Admiration,
Alana

Can someone answer some of my questions?  I have many.
