Admittedly, as wonderful as this idea is, doubts about the UC’s ability to execute it are valid. Raising $600,000 over the summer to put a down payment on 45 Mt. Auburn will be extraordinarily difficult. The UC is not famed for its efficiency or organizational prowess, and it would really have to step up its game to make this project a success.

Lastly, Woodberry Works-in-Progress allows scholars and artists to speak with attendees about projects that are in their nascent stages. “Seeing someone immersed in the outset of an idea, when the yesses and nos remain unsplit in it, humanizes it and allows us admittance,” Davis says about Works-in-Progress.
