Classes are now in session at UW-Madison, which means that students are once again dozing through lectures, flirting at the library and drinking heavily at their favorite downtown taps. But I issue this plea to Badger undergraduates: Make good use of your time here.
The University of Wisconsin is a world-class institution. You’ll likely never have a better chance to read great books and talk about them with thoughtful people. And you’ll likely never again be amid such a concentration of brilliant lectures, concerts, exhibits, films and other provocative events. As ever, there is a lot going on, all over campus.
