| I read that Carleton got the green light to build two new dorms. I really hope that this doesn't mean that the size of the student body will increase. When I read the announcement, it would seem that the goal is to keep more students on campus. But it still opens the possibility. I think keeping total enrollment under 2000 should be a high priority. I also wonder what the dorms will look like. I am not a fan of building anything that doesn't look like it will be impressive 500 years from now. If money is an obstacle, then it might make sense to trade aesthetics for functionality. But when the endowments are in rarified air, I think anything less than mouth dropping is a mistake. |
