Classes start tomorrow. Our new Dean leaves on the 30th of August. The tide rolls in; the tide rolls out. Life goes on in spite of constant change -- the new faces reflect the passing of the old faces. That is how it has always been-- and how it will always be.
I am sorry to see this Dean go -- she was making progress on a number of fronts and actually could have turned General Studies into a real Division given more time. But the "hope" that one has when one starts to be enveloped by bureaucracy often flies like the morning mists. The rays of the sun dissipate it; the winds shift it from own way to another.
All of any one person's efforts cannot remake the world. The world remakes itself and includes the workings of many who try, and many who don't, and many more who don't care.
