A visit to the athenaeum

06.05.2005

From across kitchen, direct to my email inbox, from K8 (a died-in-the-wool liberal) : "No Jokes, Please, We're Liberal" A Vanity Fair article about how liberals have become the new conservatives ("a stodgy, humorless Ivy League elite"). Enjoy. Now I'm off to the über athenaeum, the University of Chicago libraries to look for things in F3320s.

Let's not kid ourselves. The University of Chicago campus (modeled after Cambridge, the British one) just makes you feel stupid the moment you walk onto it.

NOTE: I meant that the U of Chicago campus "makes you (as in "the universal you") feel stupid the moment you walk ont it" because it's very awe-inspiring. You know you're on an "ivy league" campus the moment you arrive.

I just looked at a brochure for the Labratory School there at University of Chicago. It is a K-12 School run there next to the University. Now the tuition runs a little more then what WMU cost me... so I am not sure what I think about it yet. If you happen to walk by it... let me know what you think.

Hahaha, you should read the book on Harvard "education" I am reading now. It's supposedly all just a facade, lol, N.
