| | Everything feels urgent, but good things in higher ed take a long time to develop, Mark L. Putnam writes. "I've decided we are going to have the 'Decade of the Arts' over the next five years." I heard this statement uttered by a college president in a meeting during the late 1990s. Remarkably, no one in the room laughed out loud, but sideways glances and restrained smiles were evident among the participants. No such initiative ever emerged. The vision was compelling, but the time frame was a death knell-a grand ambition for the arts constrained to a narrowly defined, limited and time-bound project. An imaginative future betrayed by an unrealistic time horizon.
