Those who can.. Do, those that can’t.. Teach.

So you have your answer.

Will college presidents lead when it counts?

With exception of some private colleges, the answer is NO.

Next easy question?

A good essay, but focused too much on literary language instead of basic history.

Commodus, in real life, had major flaws, but he also had highly developed warrior skills, too.

He accompanied his father, Marcus Aurelius, on military campaigns for almost 10 years, but was just 18 years old when he became sole Emperor.

He engaged in horse racing and chariot racing, was a skilled archer, fought hundreds of man eating animals, and fought several hundred gladiators, but killed only a few of them.

Obviously, no gladiator seriously tried to kill the Emperor, so the fix was in, but he had real combat skills and courage.

His mind disintegrated at a young age, he declared himself a god, and he delegated almost all of his administrative responsibilities to sycophants.

He was murdered at age 31, by his wrestling coach, who put him in a head lock and held him under water in a Roman bath house.
