Edupage, 28 December 1997. Edupage, a summary of news about information technology, is provided three times a week as a service by Educom, a Washington, D.C.-based consortium of leading colleges and universities seeking to transform education through the use of information technology. ************************************************************ [Note: A number of readers have informed us that the prose poem written by the "Anonymous" author who was the honorary subscriber in our last issue of Edupage was actually written by an Indiana writer named Max Ehrmann (1872-1945) who specialized in sentimental verses. The work we quoted (called "Desiderata" and still in print) is really quite sweet, though it's been widely parodied as well as turned into saccharine by-products, including records, posters, etc. We had never previously heard of Mr. Ehrmann, and came across his poem only recently -- not in an old church in Baltimore but, less poetically, in a new pizza house outside of Atlanta.] ************************************************************ Educom -- Transforming Education Through Information Technology ************************************************************
