Prof. Adam Smith with students

Class Examines Cornell Past and Future
Cornell Chronicle, April 28, 2014

During the 2014 spring semester at Cornell University, as part of Prof. Adam Smith’s course “The Rise and Fall of ‘Civilization’”, students were once again confronted with truly unfamiliar objects and asked to provide basic descriptive information and preliminary interpretive suggestions. As last year’s students found out at the conclusion of their work, these objects were part of The Civilization of Llhuros.
