My itinerary through the universities of Greater Europe has been as thorough and colorful as that of any Wandering Scholar of the Middle Ages. I have been blessed with the opportunity to play many roles in these descendants of the Scholia: faculty brat, prodigy, Wunderkind, drop-out, perpetual student, teacher, fellow, guest lecturer, persona non grata, gadfly and harmless drudge . My fervent hope is that this process of mutual enrichment will continue.
