Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without. – Often attributed to Confucius [Tertiary research suggests this is derived from 寧可玉碎，不能瓦全, a Chinese proverb meaning roughly "Better be a piece of broken jade than unbroken tile." Why this quote is often attributed to Confucius is unclear.]
Welcome!
The Core Blog is a hub for information and media related to the CAS Core Curriculum at Boston University. It will be updated regularly, with photo galleries, interviews, links to related reading online, news of events or activities, and other kinds of content that help connect our Core people—prospective, current, and former students—with each other. You can stop by here once a week to scroll through the posts, or make this your homepage in order to keep your finger on the pulse of the Core. Either way, we hope you find this to be a pleasant way to strengthen your connection with the great people, the great books, and the great questions we encounter in the Core.Archive
