Frontispiece from The Songs of Experience by William Blake Happy New Year!
Today's trivia question to prepare you for the “Clash of Civilizations”.
Who was William Blake?
William Blake (November 28, 1757 – August 12, 1827) was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognized during his lifetime, his work is today considered seminal and significant in the history of both poetry and the visual arts. He has often been credited as being the most spiritual writer of his time. From Wikipedia........
A suggested New Year Resolution: Take a college course. Post secondary education has never been more accessible to Knox residents. Education is a unique asset. Come what may, divorce or bankruptcy, your education is always yours. Below are some programs that are relatively inexpensive, are easy to take, and are offer credits good towards graduation at Indiana Universities.

Ancilla has articulation agreements with 13 regional colleges and universities including Ball State, Indiana State, Indiana University South Bend, Purdue University North Central, and Valparaiso University.

Learn at home at your own pace. Enroll at any time. Earn top quality college credits. Indiana University offers 190 plus Undergraduate courses that you can take at home. An example would be: Economics > E201Introduction to Microeconomics (3 credits, total cost $620.00). Take only one course just for the fun of it. Some courses are online, some are correspondence. It is even possible to get a Bachelors of Arts in General Studies (120 credit hours). These are very high-quality courses that are fully transferable to all Indiana University Campuses. The cost for a 30 credit hour year is about $7,000. This is a genuine bargain for those students with the self-discipline to work at home. Regular financial aid is not available, however veterans’ and National Guard programs do apply. http://scs.indiana.edu/pdf/ispcatalog.pdf
