...All historians are nonfiction writers, whether we know it or not.

The past contains many answers, but until we ask the right questions their meaning eludes us.

We need some citizens committed to exploring and producing knowledge, as well as consuming it, and the outcomes cannot be measured solely in economic terms (nor is the Ph.D. the only path to that end, but it is certainly an important one).
