Universities are about bookishness, not music

Chock full of great quotes this article is!

"Universities are about bookishness, not music. The
token at the end of the tunnel, the Ph.D. dissertation,
is essentially a book. In general, artists are not
awarded Ph.D. degrees, although art historians or
theorists are; their output is not works of art but
scholarly prose." -- Miller Puckette, 1999

Ha ha ! Who could argue with that??
