-rgvandewalker Vitruvius is part of my regular teaching material, and believe me, if he's all a student learned about burning bricks, the Grandeur that was Rome wouldn't have been very grand. It's an ideal of education, and it was never much a reality. In fact, classical education had nothing at all to do with the technical arts. Educated, free men looked down on those who worked with their hands. We're talking about a much more rigidly hierarchical society than that of today. But that aside... --MichaelTinkler |
