I'm glad to hear The Joyce Spa is doing well. (Did you notice the allusion in the article to "boutique hotel?") It's good to know that the cuisine there is fine. No austerity there.

Well, the center, if nothing else, seems to have become an ongoing source of CROSSPORTS entertainment. |

"Ensconced in the hilltop haven — more boutique hotel than monastery — they curled up in armchairs to review class notes and sipped cucumber- and mint-infused water from mason jars. They prayed, meditated, and practiced yoga at twilight in the glass-walled chapel."
Wow. How things have changed.

compared to the 60's.....today's HC is a country club.....no doubt. think of some of today's hospitals that purposely design their private rooms to be just like a room at a plush hotel. when the parents of the little boys and girls are ponying up $60 Grand a year you better offer the kiddoes fully stocked salad bars and custom ordered cuisine. "Could you put some mushrooms in that omelet? I'm having a rough day. Quiz in "What's Wrong with America."

Can you name a relevant academic institution that has not changed in the last 30 years? Only my opinion from what I've seen/heard/witnessed from friend's kids, formah students, witnessing myself on campus etc, I just don't think HC has the same "culture" that it did in the 1970s/1980s. And I'm not saying that that "culture" then was the 'right" one....but within that culture, sports were much more important to a lot of the student body than they are today it seems. In many ways I think the HC of 1986, even though co-ed, was probably closer in terms of student body make-up to the HC of 1956 than it is to the HC of 2016. |

Ok but given that the entire world is different than 30 yrs ago, is your assertion HC has somehow changed more? If so, you are radically off base. |

Of course not, 94, I have it on good authority that Holy Cross is still a seminary. I read it here on Crossports, so it must be true.

Serenity Prayer
- Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
