ACADEMIA</span>—the
specter of something that has yet to definitively
claim a name for
itself, but is <br>
rising nonetheless. So many of us have been buried
underground, so many
breathing through small breaks in the soil that <br>
covers our pristine university campuses where guided
tours are given
and frisbees are thrown, where deep-pocketed donors<br>
stroll nostalgically and future debtors gaze
longingly. Looking up, we
may, each of us, feel like the forgotten seeds
moldering<br>
beneath these hallowed grounds—but we are, all of us,
the tectonic
plate holding them together. When we move, the world <br>
above will feel it.</big></big></p>
