"Euclid alone has looked on Beauty bare."
By Edna St. Vincent Millay

Euclid alone has looked on Beauty bare.
Let all who prate of Beauty hold their peace,
And lay them prone upon the earth and cease
To ponder on themselves, the while they stare
At nothing, intricately drawn nowhere
In shapes of shifting lineage; let geese
Gabble and hiss, but heroes seek release
O blinding hour, O holy, terrible day,
When first the shaft into his vision shone
Of light anatomized! Euclid alone
Has looked on Beauty bare. Fortunate they
Who, though once only and then but far away,
Have heard her massive sandal set on stone.

There's so much to say about the University of Michigan's policy as a bellwether of the public university today--what it reveals about the telos of education, where students place their identity, why they're in college in the first place, the post-pandemic mental health crisis, and how large institutions grapple with emotional and spiritual issues.

"The University of Michigan is trying a new approach to curb the mental health crisis among college-age students: covering freshmen's letter grades during their first semester."

NPR's Leila Fadel speaks with Shea Vance of The Chronicle of Higher Education about a University of Michigan plan to forgo letter grades for some freshmen in their fall 2027 semester.
