I am a history professor in Minnesota, USA (with a high-school love of Latin, hence the username). Although I dabbled in minor edits on Wikipedia years ago, this is a new account with which I hope to make a more sustained contribution. I also occasionally supervise university students on Wikipedia projects.
One gateway to the wide garden
of knowledge, where lies
The deep rock of our past,
in which we must delve
the well of our future,
The clear water we must leave untainted
for those who come after us,
The fertile earth, in which
truth may grow in bright places,
tended by many hands,
And the broad fall of sunshine,
warming our first steps toward knowing
how much we do not know.
