The Chapel a Hoax?

The Chapel a Hoax?

Many people have been wondering what happened about the Chapel. There will be no chapel, at least not on the graveyard site in the foreseable future. The whole thing was cleverly designed to lure us away from a much larger and much more worrying architectural plan. The masterplan is to raise the whole university twenty feet into the air.

As explained to Salient, there are two overwhelming advantages. The university will take its proper place in society, and underneath there will be all the greenery we need. Hunter is not part of the plan. Perhaps this is the real reason for its demolition. For apparently, there is as yet no known method of making bricks fly.
