Dean's Scrapbook
About the Dean's Scrapbook
In the cafe on the 35th floor of the Cathedral of Learning is a collection of binders containing thought-provoking articles Doc has ripped out of newspapers, magazines, etc., and assembled in one place.
This webpage serves as a "virtual Dean's scrapbook" providing links to those articles from the scrapbooks that are in the public domain.
As the cover of one of the scrapbooks reads: DANGER! Do Not Read! Ideas & Thoughts! Risky Stuff! Enjoy!
