Cristal: 2008年的夏天去了旧金山旅游，到了斯坦福大学。特别有人文气息的学校！罗丹的“思想者”就是其中之一！

(exerpt) Don't buy tickets to France. The greatest collection of Rodin bronzes outside Paris is here at Stanford.
Rodin! The Complete Stanford Collection opens today and will remain on view indefinitely.
It is the first time the Cantor Center for Visual Arts is giving the public a chance to see its entire collection: about 200 works of stone, wax,

By the way, Jiang's diary was not available to the public when I visited the Hoover Institute several years go.

- thanks for quick reply. it was a pity i did not realize hence did not really get a chance to enjoy Rodin (when i was in CA).
reading your quote article from Stanford website, I found Canter Center was actually named for Cantor Fitzgerald (whose FI firm was hit terribly and lost about 1/2 staffs in 9-11). Canter mentioned NY Metropolitan Musuem, too. I have been there numerous times. Next time, I will revisit Rodin's The Hand of God and watch it closely.
Thanks for sharing with us all the information. Great job! Buddy!
Btw, I have free access to Metropolitan Museum and most major public Museums (including Guggenheim, which is private) in NYC. In case someday you visit here and would like a free visit, I may be of help to you (under mutually convenient schedule). :-)

- i hope but don't think so. for example, its education school ranked out of top 5 and its medical school about 10th. Generally speaking, exceptionally strong in engineering, science and business but not very strong in liberal arts. That is why I am kinda surprised that here we emphasized its strength in arts.
Cristal: 应该每一个专业都不错
That said, its liberal arts programs are still pretty good. Just not as good into nation's top 5 leading program.
Tiger Woods studied liberal arts in Stanford and left school at year 2 end after he got a Golf Champion. So, Stanford liberal arts did cultivate celebrities. :-)

- 去过斯坦福，才知道那儿罗丹作品极多。长见识了，你的兴趣爱好看来很广泛吗，什么都知道一些。
