Our long awaited UMass Boston quad is finally (almost) here! Is the result worth the loooooong wait? Look inside and see.
Dear Mr. Beacon: Perhaps you can do something with this limerick by Robert Knox:
God in the Quad.
There was a young man who said "God
Must find it exceedingly odd
To think that the tree
Should continue to be
When there's no one about in the quad."
Reply:
"Dear Sir: Your astonishment's odd;
I am always about in the quad.
And that's why the tree
Will continue to be
Since observed by, Yours faithfully, God."
The Quad, brought to you by the USSR’s geniuses of Brutalism.
Seems quite appropriate actually.
Other readers compared the quad to a prison yard in Russia or Turkey, the place Winston Smith sits at the end of "1984" and a truck stop along I 80. We should solicit more such opinions.
That an insult to the Truck Stop along I 80 Community!
