Hi Bill
Is the U of St Louis the only college there?? I can't remember. It is the
college that had Laud Humphreys as a faculty member. The gossip is that the
faculty could not get along at all--differences in sociological perspective,
etc. Part of the reason was that Humphreys was thought to have conducted
unethical research for his dissertation. The administration said they were
making a combined department--can't remember the title they gave it, maybe
behavioral sciences or something like that--because of money
considerations. But, of course, other reasons were thought by many. Oh the
trivia you pick up sometimes in gossip.
I really don't know much about Monsanto, so can't comment on what they do.
But, St. Louis does have quite a bit of old wealth there don't
they--Budweiser, etc. Went on a tour of haunted houses in St. Louis once
when I was at my first conference. Very interesting city in more ways than
one.
