I came to Geneseo the year that Dante did, entering the English Department, like him, as an instructor. Later, I also was a dance and theatre critic, and as such, perhaps more than as a professor, met many remarkable, fascinating people. But I have not yet met a kinder, more informed,more generous, or more admirable person. I have quoted Dante often because he was witty and involved in countless disciplines. And I cannot imagine anyone who knew him and did not regard him highly.
