I am an alumni of both Vandy and UT Austin. I will say that at least Diermeier sent something out to alumni trying to explain; crickets from Austin. But the English department at Vandy would likely give the message a D for too much BS

Vandy sent out a strange email to alumni from the Chancellor this afternoon in which he said that this compact was just a conversation and he had heard from many voices over the past couple of weeks and he looks forward to continuing the conversation? So both yes and no?

Conrad’s Heart of Darkness + Eliot’s The Hollow Men as interpreted in Coppola’s Apocalypse Now. The high school bookworm/nerd geek out of fall 1979. Favorite nostalgic rereads.

Naval goods and then ships were a key export from the 13 colonies - lots of wilderness = lots of wood for ships and shipbuilding. Look at Boston during this time.
