Thinking with my Grandpa Dean’s high school geography textbook (by RH Whitbeck, U of Wisc), which included annotation perhaps by him in the early 1940s: “Danger proceed at own risk.”

From 2019 to 2024, the % of students coming to the U of Kentucky with #APHG credit and taking another GEO course has increased (11.28 to 17.35%). The % of students coming to UK *without* APHG credit and taking #GEO courses has largely held steady (24.6 to 25.64%).

Working on a chapter on memorization, thinking with this sketch by Edward Ullman in 1934 of Chicago (in his early 20s), while he was a geography student at the University of Chicago. (And thanks to @jswab.bsky.social for finding Ullman’s sketchbook!)
