Sunday evening I received a school-wide email attempting to place Robert Crumb in context to a situation in which the university's true goal seems to remove him from his past. The Modlin Center for the Arts does an excellent job bringing in wonderful performing guests from all over the world. But one thing that would be helpful for the future is more information about why some guests are surrounded by controversy.

Timothy Patterson is not a student in my class. I've never met him; I wouldn't know him if he was sitting next to me at a Spider football game. He never spoke to me personally about Robert Crumb or his work, even though, as students who are in my class can confirm, I've been in my office often during the last several weeks and have been very much available to talk about Crumb, and what my class is about (accurate title: American Misfit: Geek Literature and Culture), and why I feel it is important for professors at institutions of higher learning -- including the University of Richmond -- to include Crumb on their syllabus if they so desire. I would have been willing, even eager, to have that conversation with Patterson, but he apparently felt strongly enough to write publicly about the "values this university claims to hold dear," but not strongly enough to meet privately with the professor who assigned the material.

During the nearly forty years since the production of Pilobolus began at Dartmouth College, it has been questioned whether "new" Pilobolus" is as good as "old" Pilobolus. Based on last week's performance at Richmond, it is evident that the recent works differ from the old - and they should. Stagnant art is bad art. "New" Pilobolus is both as different and as exceptional as the old.

You can listen to composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim repeatedly and learn something new each time, music professor Gene Anderson says. And after Sondheim's double feature with host Frank Rich Monday at the Camp Concert Hall and the Landmark Theater in downtown Richmond, that became clear.
