World class faculty
I'm copying and pasting someone else's transcription, but I had already read and did love the fact that one of our professors was in a story in the Guelph Mercury on the newly-available-in-town donair:
"I like the donair because it is half way between being and nothingness," said Lampert, a smear of yogurt sauce on the corner of his mouth. Lampert was grading a paper on existentialism in the works of philosopher Martin Heidegger and was being careful not to dribble sauce on it. Lampert polished off his donair in a few brief minutes. His hunger satisfied, he dived with renewed focus into more philosophical questions. Guelph, he said, is not an existentialist city. "It's an essentialist city - practical, straight-forward and things mean what they appear to mean. And there's not nearly enough absurdity."
The title of this post is not intended as sarcasm; Jay, like most/all of our faculty, is pretty awesome (as you can tell).
