Actually with the enlarging of the campus from Hillside to Oliver it is pretty close in the Heart of campus. Just not the campus most of us are familiar with. One thing I have noticed in the old vs the new campus is that the old road ways have been turned into pedestrian walkways with traffic pretty much limited to perimeter roads while the new campus has a main road bisecting it from north to south and one east to west. Just wondering if in 20 years those will also become walkways.

Had an opportunity to view the WU close up after the Memorial 70 ceremony last week. It has a few small items that were incorporated into the art work. A small bird nestled on the handle of the scythe. A frog within the wheat and a spider which I never saw. Also the sweater WU is wearing has a hole in it on the back of WU. A friend of mine that was with me was asking if the University ever intends to market smaller versions ie desk top size. I would buy one of those. Think Shocker decanter but cooler.

How hard would it be to make a 3D print version?

I wonder where we could get out hands one one

I like the WU, and this is a cool keepsake in any collection. But I'm not sure that the WU is going to bring the University massive growth.

How cool to see an article based on facts. About anything, not just us.

Won’t lead to explosive growth, but it’s pretty flippin’ cool for the university...
