<p>I love fancy libraries…it makes studying so much more epic.</p>
<p>Looks like the best libraries are outside of colleges. Look at these amazing libraries. My god.</p>
<p>[20</a> of the World’s Most Beautiful Libraries - Oddee.com (beautiful libraries, amazing libraries…)](<a href=“http://www.oddee.com/item_96527.aspx]20”>http://www.oddee.com/item_96527.aspx)</p>
<p>I’ve never been to the top 3 on the list but I just knew that Butler was going to end up on the list. I LOVE BUTLER. One of the things that made me fall in love with this place for graduate school was the library system, OMG. And not only is it beautiful, but rich with resources, too.</p>
<p>While it didn’t say so, the George Peabody Library in Baltimore mentioned in the Oddee article is at Johns Hopkins.</p>

that’s quite cynical. If I were to reference the Peter Ladefoged lab at UCLA, I would not expect you to know what it is or who he was. Dismounting your high horse might be in order?</p>

<p>I disagree. Earlier this year, I responded to Rtgrove123’s nonchalant question by linking to [American</a> Gothic](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_gothic]American”>American Gothic - Wikipedia) on Wikipedia.</p>
<p>I confess that I did not know who Peter Ladefoged was prior to your mentioning him. Given his rather detailed Wiki page, it is clearly not my place to denigrate any of his achievements, but in the case of Grant Wood, “American Gothic” is one of the most recognizable (and hence parodied) images of the last century. It is firmly a part of U.S. pop culture, whereas Ladefoged’s stature is only known to people who have an interest in linguistics.</p>
