(November 25, 2008) Guest Editorial Happy Thanksgiving The CoB is so fortunate to have such a polymath in George Carter. Through his paper"How do We Know?", Carter took the time to regurgitate several pages out of various (uncited) anatomy, philosophy and statistics books so that EFIB faculty could see, possibly for the first time, what constitutes knowledge and just how that knowledge is processed.

Saunders. brag is typical of the heads of many states. second tier institutions, proudly embracing the "underdog" tag that is usually placed upon these same institutions by political and business leaders who generally support a state's so-called flagship institutions. What's interesting about Saunders' statement is that it can easily be turned on its head. Doing so is particularly relevant to USM.s College of Business, which, in 2007, came within a hair of losing its AACSB accreditation.
