University at Albany podium puffery (2014)
That year's slogan; provided by consultant PR business at large expense: "the World within reach"

So, on the left, "Get a Global Perspective", and beyond, the Earth Science building. Where Geological Sciences used to be.....
And on the right, "We attract the best minds on the planet", next to the Physics building. The Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, MIT, Oxford, who are they?

Never mind the new slogan, some years later: "Greatness Unleashed". Everyone's a dog, then. [the sports program mascot is a great dane]

Does this propaganda actually do the institution any good? Or is this ancient perspective more accurate:
"Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad"
Euripides (484 BC - 406 BC)

back to some form of reality, or other
