The second half of term has been a slow steady slide into mindless living, hence the lack of reading, writing, and thought.
Universities exist to provide their patrons with better qualified employees and this motive is why governments support them. Art Colleges seem to be there just to stimulate the imaginative and intellectual faculties. Example: Lee’s doing a course on Russian Modernism and Modern music, and for the Modernist course he can either submit an essay or a piece of imaginative work based on Constructivist ideas, which seems a far preferable way to understand Constructivism than this eternal struggle with books, books and more books. The imaginative faculties are not stimulated at University. Far from it.
