The Monday Morning Memo

“What makes a library a reflection 

of its owner is not merely the choice 
of the titles themselves, but the mesh 
of associations implied in the choice. 
A keen observer might be able to tell 
who I am from a tattered copy of the 
poems of Blas de Otero, the number 
of volumes by Robert Louis Stevenson, 
the large section devoted to detective 
stories, the miniscule section devoted 
to literary theory, the fact that there is 
much Plato and very little Aristotle on my 
shelves. Every library is autobiographical.”

– Alberto Manguel,

The Library at Night, p. 194


The BeagleSword was heady abandon
and the rabbit hole was a library stroll.

You are the owners of Wizard Academy.
Your school is under the authority of a board of directors
composed of 7 students of the school. New board members are
added every 2 years. Only 1 of the 7 board members was known to
the Wizard before Wizard Academy began. What does and doesn’t
happen is ultimately up to you. 
This really is your school.

Is there a particular book
that should be in the library of Wizard Academy,
a book that reflects the personality of the school?
The library floor of the tower awaits your donation of that book.
Bring it with you the next time you’re on campus or mail it to us
and we’ll store it with the others until such time as the tower is finished.
We ask only that you write a note on the book’s cover page, explaining
your thoughts. Then sign it, date it, and we’ll put it on the shelf.

Hundreds of years from now people will read your note
and the notes of your classmates and understand the generation
that built America’s nontraditional business school.

You can donate as many books as you like.
New or used, it doesn’t matter.

Hardbacks look cooler on the shelf than paperbacks.
Don’t sweat the cost. Your donation is fully tax deductible (in the U.S.)
since Wizard Academy is a 501c3 nonprofit educational organization.

Random Quote:

“Among our egocentric sad-sacks, despair is as addictive as heroin and more popular than sex, for the single reason that when one is unhappy one gets to pay a lot of attention to oneself. Misery becomes a kind of emotional masturbation.”
