We have a problem with our toilets. Or at least with the men’s toilets in my first-year dorm. Problems with people not flushing toilets. Problems with people leaving the sinks dirty. On particularly bad occasions, the bathrooms smell so putrid that I want to gag. What could possibly explain how people who at least seem clean could allow such an important place to get so dirty?
I was very nearly late to the Diwali service at the Chapel on Friday evening, victim to a last-minute clothes change and the vagaries of the late-night bus schedule. I met my parents, who were here for family weekend, on the Chapel Steps and walked in just before the main service started.
The motto of Duke University is eruditio et religio, which means “learning and religion.” This motto is an important part of how the founders of Duke viewed the University’s mission but students today differ in the extent to which they follow the words of the motto. Some focus exclusively on the eruditio, working on their studies while not worrying about religion. Others are active in religious life and identify strongly with one of the many religious groups on campus. For me, on the other hand, religion was at times a confusing part of my life, and I came to Duke not really sure where I fit in the mosaic of religious traditions on campus.
