There are plenty of egotists who build buildings in their own names. There are few colleges that stand for something more elusive and certainly less profitable. Lindenwood used to be a college that produced individuals with thoughts and goals that were perhaps not mainstream but valuable nonetheless. It is a shame that Lindenwood could not have been guided by a finer visionary who could have marketed its strengths instead of disemboweling it. I'm sorry Lindenwood College is dead, replaced by one more vast institution.
Business is business, and it does prevail.
This is clear. Dennis Spellmann is a man of small dreams. He has mistaken wealth for money, and so have those who follow him. N.Y. As a graduate of Lindenwood in the late '70s, I was distressed to read the article regarding Mr. Spellman. Lindenwood needed some financial shots in the arm during my time there, and they needed a proper focus on education.
