March Madness

How nice it is to weave a little history into our March Madness conversations. I was able to incorporate the recent success of George Mason's basketball team into my mundane Monday morning welcome. Here is what I shared with my classes on 3/27/2006

Point#1 Reviewing Colonial History: George Mason 1725-1792) has been called the "Father of the Bill of Rights" and a major player in the writing of the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. Ironically, he did nor sign the Constitution because it did not explicitly outline protections of individual rights. Later, the Constitution would be modified to address these concerns.


Point #2 Post Game Press Conference http://gomason.cstv.com/ Coach Jim Larranaga used a quote from William Jennings Bryan when talking about his team's historic victory. Coach stated :" Destiny is not a matter of chance, its a matter of choice" Nice work coach
