...trying to do. Fripp gives Hall all the space Hall needs, and he rarely tries to force his own musical style on Hall. The only discernible Fripp trademarks, some thickly textured synthesizer backgrounds, never cramp Hall's vitality.

"Bok wrote the will for General Education," says one Faculty member, "and Rosovsky was the executor." Others differ in their assessments, saying that Bok merely tagged along and lent support; they also criticize the president for his essentially conservative view of education...
