I just don't know. What do you think? I'd always heard that he wanted the library at a faith-based school like SMU or Baylor.
Well, Tech has some advantages. First, the University owns a ton of land close to campus. Other schools may have to purchase land or buildings for rennovation or demolition to accomodate a library.
Also, TTU has a museum science department and scores of professional archivists who can speed the process and provide skilled student labour for most of the "day to day" operations.
Thanks for the bump!
They should have at least winged the guy.
I hope the library ends up in West Texas somewhere (rumors are flying about a stand alone in Midland where the old airport is), but I suspect SMU, as that is where Laura went.
