This is a good move particularly if, as pledged, the historic Thornwood mansion, original home to Col. Alfred Shorter who started the college-now-university, is preserved and put on the National Register of Historic Places, where it has long belonged.
This is more about Shorter’s long-term economic viability than its present short-term educational and ethical values, about nothing more need be said. The creations of man tend to come and then go while, as Will Rogers once advised, “Buy land because God ain’t making any more of that.”
