The attached picture is a manuscript that was casually hanging on a wall in a backstage hallway, through which I walked during the week-before-last. Particularly because the piece commemorates the Peninsular War, that I post it today should not be interpreted as a commentary on my sympathies regarding the 7/10 match.

Wo?

I don't understand the question.

Where did you see this MS?

Quite. Thank you. It was an amazing moment.

Carnegie Hall....toss up off topic question...should A&M have a college of Music?

Yes, she did.

A campus-by-major system would be a profound departure from our historical structure.

And a 60,000 plus student main campus is not?

When I was an undergraduate, in 1995-1999, the campus was 45k people, IIRC. I am on campus quarterly, and I suspect that the difference in the experience between the current size and the 45k that I knew is LESS profound than the difference between the campus that I knew and the 25k campus at the time of my birth in 1975.

When I moved into Hotard Hall in the fall of 1995, we had a spare ol' lady, called an overassignment, and parking was terrible. And Sbisa was packed. And registration was a PITA.

How is that different from today?

There is a question to be asked. What is the right size of Texas A&M? I don't know. I think that the answer is a function of the willingness of the administration to invest in infrastructure.

For some reason, any music school at A&M that didn't turn out a bunch of neo-Sousa composers would feel wrong.
