Not to take away from celebrating Carson, but she's a "former professor" here in large part because the university shut down her department and cancelled its classes.
What pride does the institution claim now—years later—when austerity is forcing other scholars out? What does that 'pride' do?
![Tóte aceste lucrări botanice sunt fórte manche si defectuóse, că-ci autorii acestor colectiuni, tratate si opuri, nu au descălecat la poporulu nostru romanescu spre a-lu consultá despre botanic’a romana, ci mai vertosu s’au mărginitu intru a traduce pe romaniá numirile planteloru din limb’a greca, romana si germana ori simplu a primi numirile din aceste limbi (Catalogue of the plants in the botanical garden of the Bucharest medical school, 1866. All these botanical works are very scanty and defective, because the authors of these collections, treatises, and works did not turn to our Romanian people in order to consult them about Romanian botany. Rather, they confined themselves to translating the names of plants into Romanian from Greek, Roman [i.e. Latin], and German, or simply to adopting the names from those languages.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zrjdoof6rvw3xwhd4iaeceeb/bafkreihvc4fnhjuwfdssresjvqrbszsmoemkazuognvz5276f2acgqxx2q)
