Allen, have enlightened us in a most masterful manner with knowledge and insight on “Moving to the Meta-Level,” “Some of My Student’s Favorite Things,” “Assessment and Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Curriculum Reform,” and Models of Epidemics,” while judiciously avoiding any mimicry, teasing, or tomfoolery directed toward distinguished Governors of the Section;
