Credible Source. 1901-2013

     Millions of academics and students observed a moment of silence today, to pay their respects to Credible Source.  Credible Source was born at the turn of the previous century, at Harvard University.  Tremendously respected, her influence was felt throughout the educated world within just a few years.
     She set new standards in scholarship, and was adopted at fine universities, and then High Schools in states and countries where truth was valued.  She helped develop objective rules for writing, linking sources to other sources and respected research.  Her contributions will always be honored.
     She began aging rapidly in the '00 decade.  College students were choosing to cut corners in their scholarship, tempted by quick and easy choices on The Interwebs. Overworked teachers and professors succumbed to the trend, leading eventually to reports, term papers, and theses containing dubious or dated information.
      She perished, surrounded by her aging admirers, at her birthplace.  In lieu of flowers, please consider donating your efforts to instructing others in the diligent methods of proper research.
