Re: Staying on campus

The problem with *that* is that it can and has backfired.

For a number of years, we did a lot of "traveling road shows", where various Guilds came out to the Boroughs to teach their activities. That seemed like a good idea at the time, but I *believe* that it sent precisely the wrong message: it made the Barony seem like an outside group that comes *to* the school, rather than making the burghers feel like *part* of the larger group.

It's quite possible that this idea can be adapted in more useful form, with some adjustments. But so far, it's been a magnificent illustration of the Law of Unintended Consequences...
