  For over a century, our world has been spinning on the edge of disaster -- with the threats of war that could end in nuclear holocaust, human holocaust held in precarious check by democracies, and environmental holocaust from climate change. Perhaps the most prescient harbinger of humanity’s precarious condition was written by William Butler Yeats at the end of WWI, which ended the dream of the Age of Enlightenment:
• The Second Coming -- in this poem, Yeats seeks a rebirth based on a “centre that will hold.”
  I believe Collaborative Excellence is that centre; it has proven to hold, especially in times of adversity.
