Professor Jerry Balmuth's baccalaureate remarks - Colgate University News
Let's hear it for Balmuth - this time he's the one who needed the extension. Fifty-five years is a long time and he has been properly heralded for his distinguished service to the school.
This was an uplifting speech and he even referred to Wittgenstein without naming him - Bravo!
And in a stunning contrapositive to to his remarks on difference, I give you William James:
"There are no differences except differences in degrees of difference between difference and no difference."
I hope Jerry still decides to give lectures at reunion.
