[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d never heard of this before but am curious to hear more! In looking at the info about it, seems like the college takes it pretty seriously and there are some very detailed questions looking for specific info.

Wow. From that link: “Central to the University of Rochester is our comment to Meliora, the idea that each of us, collectively and individually has a part to play in making the world ever better.”

I’m not sure I can take a school seriously when they can’t proofread their website to find the difference between “comment” and “commitment,” and mischaracterize meliora, which is just Latin for “better” or “for the pursuit of better” (it’s the school motto, which they translate as “ever better,” which is fine — but it’s not “the idea that each of us…has a part to play in making the world ever better”).[/quote]

I’m sure everyone affiliated with the University of Rochester would be broken hearted to hear that you, random DCUM poster, don’t take them seriously.[/quote]
