...scheme, however, with its "joint appointments," does not solve the problem. A candidate for tenure in the proposed department would have to be approved both by the biochemistry faculty and the faculty of either Biology or Chemistry. Even if the biochemists appreciate a certain candidate's value, he could still be rejected by the other department, just as before...
...joint-appointment scheme represents an attempt to maintain a liason with established departments. Biochemists will, after all, be using laboratory facilities of the Biology and Chemistry Department. It may also have seemed politic to compromise with critics who fear that the Biology and Chemistry Department will lose some of their best men and will suffer for it. In any case, the resulting department does not appear much stronger than the existing Biochemistry committee...
Unity for Division.

The planners envision shuttle trains and moving sidewalks to carry people to and from the length of the spine, see the linear plan as capable of indefinite extension...

The solution, as proposed by the competition-winning architectural firm of Kelly & Gruzen: bury the facilities underground. Key elements in the $5,700,000 scheme, which will leave 95% of the ten-acre site still land scaped: below-ground-level stables for 370 horses topped by a three-acre orchard of flowering crab apple trees, and a sloping earth mound 400 ft. wide and 30 ft. high with an indoor riding ring beneath and an outdoor...
Finnegans Wake represents the failure of that grandiloquent scheme. But it is a failure so brilliant that it can still illuminate the mind and gladden the spirit of all who do not regard words as mere tokens or tools, who see them as playthings capable of magic, creating awe by liturgy, or laughter by a conjurer's sleight of alphabet...
