AN ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF LANGUAGE

In the study of language the late 1980s may be seen in retrospect as an era of consolidation. No moderately aware eye will

miss the epidemic of encyclopaedias of that time, their didactic sameness masked by a variety of style, even a desperate

individuality. Some spread a single topic (say, dialectology) over an ample volume; some report on a kaleidoscope of topics

under a summary, not always illuminating, heading (say, grammar). Some are terse and sober lexicons; some, like advertisers, seek their targets with a fine typographic frenzy.

The Miser

L'Avare is a 1668 five-act satirical comedy by French playwright Molière. Its title is usually translated as The Miser when the play is performed in English.
The play was first performed in 1668 at the Palais Royal in a period when Molière's company was, on the one hand, under considerable establishment pressure to modify its output, but on the other hand, under the protection of Louis XIV himself. Little is known about the original performance, although it is said that Molière himself played Harpagon, utilising his by this point chronic cough and gait to humorous effect.

A Larger Sense of Purpose: Higher Education and Society

Universities were once largely insular institutions whose purview extended no further than the campus gates. Not anymore. Today's universities have evolved into multifaceted organizations with complex connections to government, business, and the community. This thought-provoking book by Harold Shapiro, former president of both Princeton University and the University of Michigan, and Chairman of the National Bioethics Advisory Commission under President Bill Clinton, explores the role the modern university should play as an ethical force and societal steward.
