Texas and the University of Chicago's Plans

This is all in your own mind, my friend. I challenge you to find a statement anywhere on our board that could be construed as denigration of other schools or students as opposed to an attempt to describe the essential qualities of our own place and our own students. The denigration always runs in the opposite direction.

Well, let’s see…

@marlowe1

he remodeled the undergraduate experience such that it no longer looked very much like that of the Ivy League. There were way too many “that kids” in its classes, too few wealthy ones, no sports, no Gentlemen’s C’s, no starlets. Too many ideas flying around, too much intensity, not enough leisure.

That didn’t take long at all, did it?

@marlowe1

To be fair you are not alone in being rendered apoplectic by talk of Chicago culture and education. To me that is the truly interesting phenomenon here, one that warrants the intervention of Dr. Freud.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
