Heroic Notion. The free university movement may prove to be a passing fad, but it has already had an impact on established institutions.

For the tiny (pop. 540) Eskimo village of Igloolik, which has existed since 1500 B.C., it was the first time that a judge had ever paid a visit...
...installed 110 volts A.C.?that's fine"?meanwhile running his hand along the tops of doors to see if they had been dusted.
