Unfortunately Trent Lott's comments about Strom Thurmond were actually given at Strom's 100th birthday party, not his funeral. Oops. Well, here's Cheney's eulogy for Strom.

Joseph Stalin eulogy by Paul Robeson

This is a prety meaty eulogy. A lauditory eulogy for Stalin written by Paul Robeson. Says quite a bit about Robeson, no?

Also, I think we should have is an:

Introduction - explaining some unifying theory of eulogies, and how they've changed over the centuries and decades

Foreward - an explanation of what we were aiming to do with this anthology, what we are exploring, etc.

Conclusion - The current state of eulogies, and the future of eulogies (?)

I'm pretty solid on the first two, maybe one of you guys can flesh out the conclusion.

Feedback on Midterm project for Group 3:

First off, I think you guys have compiled a nice proposal for what would likely prove to be a spirited/controversial class. What you have written is solid and complete. (A very petty proof: in line two of your course description short term should be hyphenated.) However, I think you are missing two elements that should be easy for you guys to pull together.

1. Be sure to add an itemized summary of expenses, presented in column format with a total at the bottom.

2. Consider adding an “Explanation of Transdisciplinary Nature” section. Given that this is the bread and butter of the whole T-course initiative, I would not hold back any of your insights. I realize that you guys touch on these aspects throughout your proposal, but you can only help your case by hammering these points home in one dedicated section.

If you have any further questions, feel free to e-mail me (tyler.reeb@cgu.edu) or meet Tom and I at Hagleburger’s this Wednesday from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Once again, nice work.

Cheers,

Tyler
