Great Regulars: "David is the model for all of us,"

said Joseph Travis, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences [of David Kirby]. "He is, if anything, more committed to his students than ever, even after being recognized so often for his many, many accomplishments. David continues to reach new levels as a writer, scholar and teacher, and it's almost unfair to have that much talent combined with that much dedication in a colleague who is also just a genuinely swell guy."
