Oxford station (and this is not the main building) was being grumbled about as far back as the C19th. The Great Western Railway never built anything substantial there because anything they proposed was rejected by dons who objected on principle to the very existence of railways.
I rather like that Oxford’s buildings reflect their immaterial forms: the ‘schools’ for politics and business and the station are hideous, the Divinity School, Sheldonian and Bodleian beautiful. The city is philosophical hierarchy in action.

As a university professor, I rarely hear from students after the final exam. However, there are always a handful of students who will send personal notes or emails after the semester is over. These mean more to me than you could possibly imagine. Students, if you enjoy the

just found out about Oblique Strategies it’s a deck of short prompts created in the 1970s by artists Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt to unblock the creative process — used famously by musicians like David Bowie 100% going to start using it, what an incredible gift too
