However, it seems to me that since they got into the competition for the Bush Library that's been less of a problem. It might also explain why Mr. Hibbs is even considering going to UD. It seems to me that all of that tends to negate Wick's original point that getting into the library competition was a bad idea. Mr. Wharton makes a good point about UD getting overlooked.

Now I just hope they don't sell off all their land to developers. It's a good school, but it gets easily overlooked with all the choices in the area.

He's not just the Dean of the Honors Program but a Distinguished Professor of Philosophy too. He is very important to Baylor's vision, and they've given him time to teach and write his articles and books. He'd be great for UD but he'd be a fool to take it. He'd spend all of his time trying to right the ship. Baylor won’t let Hibbs go without fight. He’s not just the Dean of the Honors Program but a Distinguished Professor of Philosophy too.

The academic world will sit up and take note. I wish them and Dr. Hibbs continued success.
