As Mary K. Stillwell notes, "The University of Nebraska is fundamentally a 'green' institution, a land grant institution established by the Morrill Act of 1862 that grows from the land itself. Our students are, as the new Husker tee-shirt proclaimed in the bookstore this past fall, children of the corn!"

[—An untamed area open for development—]
"Rook in the beech-tops. trout in the stream. Owl in the high-wood. cricket in the damp. . . . Place is what they practice, an all sufficient knowledge. . . .
No proper where to these humans. Anywhere will do. The only indispensable where for them is among other humans."
