Fascinating post! I went college in the relatively dark ages, when there were no computers, iPads or xerox machines. You took notes on cards, and if writing a paper or thesis, had your library carrel stacked high with books with note cards stuck in on certain pages with an indication of what was important on that page. Whew!

There are several non-fiction books that really shine the light on early education in general and universities in particular.

Thanks for that input Karen, it’s surprising how much we don’t actually know about the early days of Universities in general.
