New College Independent Alumni/ae Association

In the dying days of New College, some have lamented the creativity that will be lost by its demise. But creativity does not depend on a decrepit institution run by insipid bureaucrats. It depends on the individual spirit that refuses to be complacent in the face of such petty tyrannies.

So this creativity will continue in other places and other ways without the distraction of fending off the interference of incompetent buffoons and mind-bending despots.

Diversity in academia, like life, is a healthy thing, but perversity of purpose is not a condition in which it can prosper.
