II. The Difference between A

University And A College Colleges in the United States first got that name because

they didn’t seem to measure up to the size and stature of

the large English universities. Some of the biggest

differences are the size and prestige.

It’s still widely understood that a university is typically

larger and can grant more advanced degrees like

doctorates and master’s degrees.

A university may also have several separate colleges that

operate under its umbrella. It’s acceptable to call a large

university a college because the terms are so

interchangeable. But you’ll rarely see anyone call a

college a university because of that size distinction.

Bach is considered by many to have been the greatest composer in the history of western music.

Bach's main achievement lies in his synthesis and advanced development of the primary contrapuntal idiom of the late Baroque, and in the basic tunefullness of his thematic material.

III. Dante, Homer, La RochefoucauldIII. Dante, Homer, La Rochefoucauld

One of the greatest poets in the history of world literature, Italian writer Alighieri Dante composed poetry influenced by classical and Christian tradition.

Dante’s greatest work—epic poem: The Divine Comedy, 1802. It includes three sections:

• the “Inferno” (Hell), in which the great classical poet Virgil leads Dante on a trip through hell;

• the “Purgatorio” (Purgatory), in which Virgil leads Dante up the mountain of purification; and

• the “Paradiso” (Paradise), in which Dante travels through heaven.

The illustration shows Dante standing in front of the

mountain of Purgatory, with hell on his right and heaven on

The literary reputation of La Rochefoucauld rests on one book: Maxims, published in 1665. These moral reflections and maxims are a collection of cynical epigrams, or short sayings, about human nature—a nature that the author felt is dominated by self-interest.

“We always like those who admire us; we do not always like

those whom we admire.”

“We seldom find such sensible men as those who agree with us.”“Virtues are lost in self-interest as rivers are lost in the sea.”“The surest way to be deceived is to think oneself cleverer than the others.”
