New School, New Lease On Life

We’re skeptical folks in general, but this morning’s inbox brought a twist even we hadn’t seen coming, not in a million zillion gillion years. New School University, which we always–erroneously in retrospect–called the New School, has, in fact, officially changed its name to The New School. Apparently it took two years of thoughtful and careful planning for this change, which we think marks an irreparable shift in the zeitgeist, if not the culturescape. We’re visual, not linguistic, critics, but we’re not quite sure if the new names have the same flow the old ones did.
