I'm familiar with this school because it's where Camille Paglia spent her career after getting her Ph.D. in literature from Yale.

It seemed to me from her many descriptions of it as a very interesting place.

What a shame.

Nevertheless, I can still by merchandise including stickers of various sizes with our four winds logo. I've never so much as put a sticker on a car window but now I think I will buy some and plaster them everywhere. My nostalgia remains even if the substantive quality of the actual place has evaporated like water spilled on hot pavement in summer.
