the invented tradition of USC


I was in and out of USC several times today (a complicated story of cars, various appointments, and the rest of it), but ended up waiting by the statue of Hecuba, with a very mock Gothic pinnacle in the background.  As ever, this was an opportunity to gaze, sadly, on manufactured mock Gothic and manufactured - well, Hecuba, supposedly bringing gender equality to Trojan symbolism.  Yeah, right.  Seven and a half years after all this University Village opening and fanfare, I'm still left wondering how much it cost, how it all got funded, and and and - the context was yet another bit of sobering funding news today.
