Hi Marie: That's indeed possible, although Emory University is (much to
many people's surprise) not really a Southern university (!), even
though it is located in Atlanta, Georgia. Very few of our students or
faculty are from the South, and virtually all are from either the
Northeast, West Coast, Pacific Northwest, or Midwest. Indeed, many or
most of the graduate students who have taken the most umbrage at
difficult faculty questions are from non-Southern universities. If there
is any common factor that I've identified that runs through these
graduate students, it is that many of them seem to come from colleges or
universities in which they were not accustomed to being challenged or
criticized. So an academic environment in which tough questions are
asked may be understandably difficult for them to adjust to. But that's
just my admittedly anecdotal imporession. ....Scott

The Master in the Art of Living makes little distinction between his work and his
play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his
recreation, his love and his intellectual passions. He hardly knows which is which.
He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to
decide whether he is working or playing. To him – he is always doing both.
