Rising on Main Street just across from the main gates, the new giant metal jungle gym will be a signature structure for Clark University: a cornerstone for LEEP efforts and leaping, the perpetuation and strengthening of Clark’s commitment to the Main South community, and a place for some dope AF parkour. Its bold design and provision of ample dark shadows to hide in while smoking expresses Clark’s aspirations to appeal to a wide-range of burnouts, and reaffirms its reputation as a leading institution of higher education and ‘j-chilling.’

The giant metal jungle gym has already received a warm reception from local foundations, alumni and friends who recognize the structure’s transformative potential for cardio-acrobatics and fun.

Clark University is now looking to supplement the success of the giant metal jungle gym, and welcomes your involvement to help raise the necessary resources for ginormous copper monkey-bars.

To learn more about giving opportunities, please contact: David Angel. He’ll know what to do.

Hipster Quote of the Week:

" The message at the end of “The Tortoise and the Hare” isn’t that ‘slow and steady wins the race’, but actually a well-remembered quote from the 1977 Disney classic “A New Hope”: “Great kid! Don’t get cocky”. Bullshit that the hare was gonna lose that race if he didn’t choose to stop for a nap and a snack and whatever else he did. Bullshit that the tortoise was going to catch up in any capacity if the hare didn’t slow down for him. Maybe that platitude makes sense, but definitely not in this situation.

 

A race is a sheer contest of speed. No other skills go into that. The tortoise and the hare aren’t making miniature wooden horses and getting judged on the craftsmanship of their products alongside their finish time; they are moving from one point to another. In no universe does slow and steady win that race. Slow and steady wins no races, except for races where the point is to go as slow as possible. Even in cases where slow and steady could be considered a possible alternative to fast, such as the aforementioned miniature-wooden-horse-making competition, someone who can do similar quality work at a much faster pace still wins that competition.

 

Slow and steady does not win the race. Not being too full of yourself does.."
