“Sifting and winnowing” has a special meaning at #UWMadison, and it turns 125 years old today.⠀ ⠀ Why is this statement so important? Because it so clearly and poetically states the principle of academic freedom — freedom to teach, freedom to research and freedom to serve the public. It it stresses that the University of Wisconsin will not be swayed by temporary vogues or political trends, even if they should prevail at other institutions.⠀ ⠀ The next time you pass Bascom Hall, take a moment to read the Sifting and Winnowing plaque located near the building’s main entrance. It’s an inspirational statement that’s sure to give you goosebumps.
