We’re leaning toward the color scheme of the green cover with the font and text formatting of the white one.

I'm currently writing an essay on Wilfird Sellars' interpretation of Aristotle. Given the below paper, I think I've cornered the market on "Pittsburgh Philosophy Heroes Views on Aristotle" papers.

I know. I’ve got a lot of heavy lifting to do to make this even remotely plausible.

Often the general acknowledgements are just a list of places where you’ve given a talk and a handful of names of friends (the fancier the better). I like being thanked. But I’ve never gotten anything as a reader from this kind of footnote.

If you think this is too much, remember that you likely aren’t one of the 15 people who enthusiastically signed up for this course with full knowledge of what I’d be assigning.

This + Augustine’s Confessions = the reading for Tulsa’s honors course β€œThe Long Middle Ages” that I’m teaching this semester.

I'd like it more if they required the spelled out latin. You never see a good old videre licet anymore
