Md. Law School Funding Like many law schools, the University of Maryland School of Law operates legal clinics that allow students to get experience tackling real cases.  The school's environmental law clinic recently helped file a lawsuit against poultry producers to enforce the Clean Water Act and stop pollution of rivers flowing into the Chesapeake Bay.  Now the poultry producers are fighting back, and members of the Maryland legislature have taken their side by pressuring the law school to name all of the clinics' clients or face funding cuts.  Here's a Washington Post piece on the subject, and here is the Baltimore Sun's editorial opposing the threatened cuts.

As with similar threats made in the past, the legislators' intervention seems to me to miss a crucial point about how people actually learn.  Education is not just academic; experiences teach too.  If legislators try to impose such tight control on universities that nothing they disagree with ever occurs on campus, they take away opportunities for students to learn from making and living with their own choices, and from engaging diverse perspectives and interests.  A college education should be more than a series of exercises conducted within the straight and narrow lines drawn by state lawmakers.

This was the second of my time capsules, sealed on July 12, 1980.  I remember nothing about the contents other than that in the months after I sealed my first capsule (on March 5, 1980, to be opened on March 5, 2000), I had given more thought to what a person from the distant future might find interesting.  And I had decided to be more ambitious and patient than I had been with the first capsule: instead of a 20-year wait, I left instructions (taped to the cover of one of the boxes) that this capsule should be opened 30 years hence, on July 12, 2010.  I know I hoped that I would be the one to open the capsule, but it was a real challenge to imagine that I might one day be so old, or that the capsule would not be lost at some point on its temporal journey.

A few weeks ago I asked my parents to send me the capsule.  My mother put the whole thing in one big box, and took it to a FedEx office today.  26 pounds of my distant past are on their way to Baltimore, in plenty of time for the July unveiling.

So what do I hope to find?  I can think of some things that I might have gotten my hands on as a 12-year old that would have appreciated significantly in value over 30 years.  But (unrealistic as it is to expect) I think I'd like nothing more than to find 26 pounds of handwritten pages--messages from family and friends, and my own impressions of my life and speculation about the years ahead.
