Ｌ女士站在窗边。
在她的视线中，银白色的光芒掀着波涛。波涛穿过大气厚重的窗玻璃不停地震动着
。身旁马克麦亨中将呻吟着，转动着他的身体，可是，并不能引起Ｌ女士一点点的注意。
“白龙显现了。”
在她端整的嘴角浮起了笑容。和她在数天前看到红龙显现时的情况比起来显得沉稳
多了。之所以会让她有这样的表现，是因为经验呢？或者是在上位者的指示呢？这就不
得而知了。不管怎么说，她现在想到的是今后的的事，对跟前发生的事实似乎并不怎么
宣扬。
“哇！我的基地被那个怪物破坏了，该怎么办啊？”
马克麦亨中将的声音动摇着。
“你的基地？”
Ｌ女士打鼻孔里冷笑着。或许是有意把傲慢也当成是形成她美貌的一个要素？这个
时候的Ｌ女士完全具备了女皇帝的风格。尽管被嘲弄了，马克麦亨中将还是被压倒了，
一时讲不出话来。他退了一步，目不转转睛看着Ｌ女士，可是，两眼中立刻带着憎惧和
下了决心的表情，猛抓起军帽，离开了房间。他重重地摔上了门，可是，Ｌ女士连看也
不看一眼。像马克麦亨中将那种男人的所作所为都引不起Ｌ女士兴趣。闪着银白色光芒
的巨龙仍然在滑行道上。如果先不顾虑到其危险性的话，巨龙所散发出来的光芒就像数
亿颗宝石并列在一

Public Higher Ed: From Jefferson to the Cold War. Wall Street Journal, Oct.
24, 2010.

My comment:
(a) In the print, it is a photo-essay, with a photo to each paragraph.
(b) History of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_University_of_North_Carolina_at_Chapel_Hill
Quote:
"The university opened in a single building, which came to be called Old
East. Still in use as a residence hall, it is the oldest building originally
constructed for a public university in the United States. Its cornerstone
was laid on October 12, 1793, near an abandoned Anglican chapel which led to
the naming of the town as Chapel Hill.
"UNC was the first public university to hold classes and to admit graduate
students. The College of William & Mary [in was founded in 1693, though it
did not become a public university until 1906, and the University of Georgia
was chartered in 1785 but did not start classes until 1801.
(i) That is why UNC claims it was established in 1789.
(ii) In the WSJ article, the photo that accompanies UNC turns out to be Old
East, though the report ddoes not name the building.
(iii) The College of William & Mary
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_College_of_William_%26_Mary
(at Williamsburg, capital of Virginia Colony from 1699-1780 (in the midst of
American Revolution); Founded in 1693, it is the second-oldest institution
of higher education in the United States after Harvard University; Named in
honor of the reigning monarchs King William III and Queen Mary II; William &
Mary was founded as an Anglican institution)
Also see
(i) Colinial Colleges
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonial_Colleges
("William & Mary was a private institution from 1693 until just after the
American Civil War and has been public since 1906")
(ii) Yale University
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yale_University
(Founded in 1701 in the Colony of Connecticut, the university is the third-
oldest institution of higher education in the United States; In 1718, the
College was renamed Yale College to honor a gift from Elihu Yale, a governor
of the British East India Company)
(c) The WSJ article quotes Thomas Jefferson as saying in 1789 "wherever the
people are well informed they can be trusted with their own government."
This is the foundation of
Federal Depository Library Program
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Depository_Library_Program
(established by an 1813 Congressional Joint Resolution)
(i) Jefferson was president from 1801-1809.
(ii) The idea of informed citizens was in contrast of 秦始皇焚書坑儒.
(d) University of Virginia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_Of_Virginia
(established in 1819; at Charlottesville; on a land purchased from then
President James Monroe, the owner; three presidents at the time were on
Board of Visitors, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe, but in
the presence of James Madison, the Marquis de Lafayette toasted Jefferson
as "father" of the University of Virginia at the school's inaugural banquet
in 1824; The University's first classes met in March 1825)
(i) This may explains why the article states Mr. Jefferson "founded the
University of Virginia--the country's first non-sectarian university."
Still I am confounded as to why "first non-sectarian university." What about
UNC? UNC is "non-sectarian."
Kemp Plummer Battle, History of the University of North Carolina, volume II
From 1868 to 1912. Edwards & Broughton Printing Co., at 488 (1912).
http://books.google.com/books?id=ZpLOAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA488&lpg=PA488&dq=University+of+North+Carolina+non-sectarian&source=bl&ots=0ZXhoU-RSg&sig=27COAnjMwQxugvJoJvNbbDHmLQw&hl=en&ei=Z7bFTKuXM8L38AbX5_3PBg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7&ved=0CC4Q6AEwBg#
I surmise the WSJ article means no prayer on school property except at the
chapel.
(e) land-grant university
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land-grant_university
Morrill Acts (there were two: 1862 and 1890) were named after House
Representative Justin Smith Morrill of Vermont.
(f) Office of Scientific Research and Development
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Scientific_Research_and_Development
(an agency of the United States federal government created to coordinate
scientific research for military purposes during World War II; 1941-1947)
