Death & Being Dead

Norman Cantor died. He wrote The Civilization of the Middle Ages and Medieval World, among others. Its strange since these were text book from classes. Soon we will all be dead.

But not soon enough for some. In retrospect there were a great number of amazing professors in the Rutgers History department. Unfortunately for me, I don't think I had many of them [excepting of course, Lears, who was amazing]. Would I have been a better student of history if the lot I had wasn't so bad?
