It is an initiative of the Forward Arts Foundation, which aims to encourage people to read, write and perform poetry. Other countries also have their own poetry celebrations, such as World Poetry Day, which is observed annually on March 21 by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) to promote the reading, writing, and teaching of poetry worldwide.

The rapid growth of AI training and inference drives hyperbolic demand for data center capacity, creating a classic boom-bust dilemma on large university campuses. Overbuild: Universities rushing to construct hyperscale or AI-focused data centers risk massive stranded capital if AI progress slows, federal funding dries up, or cheaper cloud alternatives dominate. These facilities require enormous power (often 100–500+ MW), water cooling, and land—resources that could lock campuses into 20–30-year commitments while diverting funds from core academic missions. Critics fear a repeat of the 1990s fiber-optic glut, leaving half-empty “ghost” buildings. Underbuild: Failing to invest sufficiently risks losing top AI faculty and students to better-equipped peers (Stanford, MIT, CMU), forfeiting federal grants (e.g., NSF, CHIPS Act), and diminishing national competitiveness. In a winner-take-all AI race, campuses without GPU clusters and high-performance networking quickly fall behind in recruiting and research output. Universities are thus caught between fear of wasteful mega-projects and fear of irrelevance. https://standardsmichigan.com/rellis-data-and-research-center/ “Washington money” 2012 Robert Silvers Today we pick through a few tax-free bond offerings that finance education community construction with a eye toward reducing construction cost and life-cycle maintenance through building codes and standards.

This popular jazz standard disguises the cynical statement about how money, greed, corruption, robbery, and murder are intertwined — and how the biggest crooks wear suits and are celebrated instead of punished. “For a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.” — Paraphrase by Winston Churchill University endowments are comprised of money or other financial assets that are donated to academic institutions. Charitable donations are the primary source of funds for endowments. Endowment funds support the teaching, research, and public service missions of colleges and universities. In the case of endowment funds for academic institutions, the income generated is intended to finance a portion of the operating or capital requirements of the institution.

The calendar of Anglosphere educational settlements subtly shapes life of the mind, generally; and family and community life, specifically. Its cadence has roots in the cathedral schools and monastic learning communities of medieval Europe. Universities were not originally organized around modern “semesters.” Instead, the year followed the Christian liturgical calendar, agricultural seasons, food paths, daylight availability, and travel conditions.
In America educational calendars were nudged along by agricultural cycles. In the United Kingdom university calendars evolved into three major terms: Michaelmas in autumn, associated with arrival and beginnings; Hilary or Lent in winter, associated with discipline and study; and Trinity or Easter in spring, associated with examinations, outdoor rituals, music, rowing, gardens, and celebration.
Modern commencement traditions across the Anglosphere are descendants of medieval spring degree ceremonies. Academic gowns, hoods, processions, Latin phrases, formal dining, chapel music, and public recognition all preserve traces of the university as a scholarly guild and religious-civic community.
Before railways, electric lighting, and central heating, universities had to adapt to muddy roads, short winter days, limited candles, cold buildings, and agricultural obligations. Spring therefore became the natural season of culmination, reunion, athletic competition, courtship, and ceremony.
The medieval university was not merely a school but an educational settlement — a self-governing town of scholars, libraries, chapels, kitchens, workshops, residences, and dining halls. That settlement pattern survives in residential colleges, quadrangles, tutorial systems, common rooms, chapel choirs, and formal meals.
Anglosphere campuses retain this ancient emotional rhythm: autumn seriousness, winter inwardness, and spring release. That continuity helps explain why colleges and universities still feel culturally distinct from ordinary commercial society. (Relata: Gulliver Visits the Great Academy of Lagado)
We’re “organized” but not too organized; like the bookseller who knows where every book can be found.
