A ”body farm”: It sounds like something from a horror movie or murder mystery.

At WCU, it’s an innovative learning opportunity for forensic anthropology students. The decomposition research station—irreverently referred to as a "body farm"—is a living lab where students and researchers can get a close-up, long-term look at what happens when a human body decomposes. It’s also pretty unique: WCU’s “body farm” is only the second facility of its kind nationwide.

Eton Wall Game

By: kjfitz
@ 2008-08-04 23:21:45
The Eton wall game originated at Eton College. It has similarities to both the modern sports of rugby union and football.

It is played on a strip of ground 5 metres wide and 110 metres long next to a slightly curved brick wall (which was erected in 1717). The most important match is the annual St. Andrew's Day game which is played between a team of "Collegers" (scholarship holders) and a team of "Oppidans" (the rest of the students, who comprise most of the student body). Although College has only 70 pupils (this number has traditionally been the number of King's Scholars in College as laid down by King Henry VI) to pick its team from, compared to the 1250 or so Oppidans, College has one great advantage: the strip lies on 'College Field', a football field next to the Slough-to-Eton Road the access to which the incumbent Keeper of College Wall has control of. On the traditional St. Andrew's Day match, the Oppidans climb over the wall, after throwing their caps over in defiance of the Scholars. However, in practice, it is usual for them to allow the Oppidans to use it when they wish.]]> Eton Wall Game

The tower of the Central University Library houses one of the most beautiful carillons in the world. It was erected together with the library building in 1928 and was donated by American engineers as a war memorial. Thanks to the efforts of American carillonneur Margo Halsted, the instrument was renovated and extended to 63 bells in 1983. The total bell weight is 35 tonnes.

Nyenrode Business Universiteit, also spelled as Nijenrode, is a prestigious Dutch business school and only private university. Founded in 1946, it is located on a large estate in the town of Breukelen, between Amsterdam and Utrecht.

Nyenrode was founded in 1946 by top executives of Dutch multinational companies, such as Akzo, KLM, Philips, Shell and Unilever. The Nederlands Opleidings Instituut voor het Buitenland (NOIB) was soon named after the thirteenth century Castle of Nyenrode. In 1982 it was recognized as a university by the Dutch government (Universiteit Nyenrode). Nyenrode decided in 1992 to become independent of Dutch government subsidies, due to the fact that subsidised universities in the Netherlands were and are not allowed to have a selection process of students based on talent and ambition.

Today the university consists of two schools; the business school and the NIVRA-Nyenrode School of Accountancy and Controlling. An impressive castle is located at the north-east corner of the estate.]]> Nyenrode Business University
