As a marathon runner, I think of the University and the School of Education as having miles yet to go. But we're not waiting for somebody else to schedule our appointments with destiny. In my work as an educator and philosopher, and in my life as a husband, father, and friend, I try always to keep destiny in mind. And I associate it with a vivid image from my childhood. When, as children, we played marbles, we always played for keeps.
Destiny is for keeps.
At Boston University, that's the way we're trying to play it. Edwin J. Delattre, Dean and Professor of Education, School of Education Professor of Philosophy College of Arts and Sciences Notes 1.
