    2025.09.23

    Today at 11 AM/ET we update our understanding of best practice literature relevant to the information and communication technology enterprises in education communities.  Our online meetings coincides with the day of two IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee teleconferences at 14:00 Central European time and 2:00 PM Eastern time in the Americas.   Starting 2023 we have begun to break down our coverage of information and communication technology embedded in campus buildings into four modules – Infotech 100, 200, 300 and Infotech 400.

    Open to everyone.  Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.

    Ablution facilities refer to designated areas or equipment used for personal hygiene and cleansing rituals, often in religious, cultural, or practical contexts. These facilities typically include sinks, showers, or basins for washing the body, hands, face, or feet, ensuring cleanliness and adherence to hygiene standards. In religious settings, such as mosques or temples, ablution facilities support ritual purification (e.g., wudu in Islam) before prayers, emphasizing spiritual and physical cleanliness.

    In housekeeping, ablution facilities align with maintaining high sanitation standards, providing spaces for washing dishes, laundry, or personal care to prevent contamination and promote health. These areas are equipped with clean water, soap, and drying tools, designed for accessibility and efficiency. Regular maintenance of ablution facilities, including cleaning and disinfecting surfaces, ensures compliance with hygiene protocols, reduces germ spread, and fosters a safe, sanitary environment for users, whether in homes, public spaces, or institutions.

    For today’s session we pull together previous work related to home economics; admittedly a broad topic.

    I sit beside the fire and think
    Of all that I have seen
    Of meadow flowers and butterflies
    In summers that have been
    Of yellow leaves and gossamer
    In autumns that there were
    With morning mist and silver sun
    And wind upon my hair
    I sit beside the fire and think
    Of how the world will be
    When winter comes without a spring
    That I shall ever see
    For still there are so many things
    That I have never seen
    In every wood in every spring
    There is a different green
    I sit beside the fire and think
    Of people long ago
    And people that will see a world
    That I shall never know
    But all the while I sit and think
    Of times there were before
    I listen for returning feet
    And voices at the door

The calendar of Anglosphere educational settlements subtly shapes life of the mind, generally; and family and community life, specifically.  Its cadence has roots in the cathedral schools and monastic learning communities of medieval Europe. Universities were not originally organized around modern “semesters.” Instead, the year followed the Christian liturgical calendar, agricultural seasons, food paths, daylight availability, and travel conditions.

In America educational calendars were nudged along by agricultural cycles.  In the United Kingdom university calendars evolved into three major terms: Michaelmas in autumn, associated with arrival and beginnings; Hilary or Lent in winter, associated with discipline and study; and Trinity or Easter in spring, associated with examinations, outdoor rituals, music, rowing, gardens, and celebration.

Modern commencement traditions across the Anglosphere are descendants of medieval spring degree ceremonies. Academic gowns, hoods, processions, Latin phrases, formal dining, chapel music, and public recognition all preserve traces of the university as a scholarly guild and religious-civic community.

Before railways, electric lighting, and central heating, universities had to adapt to muddy roads, short winter days, limited candles, cold buildings, and agricultural obligations. Spring therefore became the natural season of culmination, reunion, athletic competition, courtship, and ceremony.

The medieval university was not merely a school but an educational settlement — a self-governing town of scholars, libraries, chapels, kitchens, workshops, residences, and dining halls. That settlement pattern survives in residential colleges, quadrangles, tutorial systems, common rooms, chapel choirs, and formal meals.

Anglosphere campuses retain this ancient emotional rhythm: autumn seriousness, winter inwardness, and spring release. That continuity helps explain why colleges and universities still feel culturally distinct from ordinary commercial society.  (Relata: Gulliver Visits the Great Academy of Lagado)

We’re “organized” but not too organized; like the bookseller who knows where every book can be found.
