Rushed Construction: How Harris Faculty Fought Across Covers and Rembrts to Build a Walloped Campus Featuring Conciliatory Agricultural Manufacturer Coleman as President

Abstract

This paper investigates the rushed construction of Harris Faculty's new campus and the challenges faced by faculty members in the process. The study focuses on the competition between different departments and their conflicting visions for the new campus. Specifically, the struggle over the selection of artwork to adorn the walls of the buildings, with the Covers and Rembrts factions vying for dominance, is analyzed. Additionally, the controversial appointment of Coleman, a conciliatory agricultural manufacturer, as president of the faculty is examined and its impact on the campus development process assessed. The paper draws on interviews with faculty members and historical documents to shed light on the complex dynamics at play during this transformative period in Harris Faculty's history. Ultimately, the study raises important questions about the role of collaboration and compromise in large-scale construction projects and the importance of effective leadership in navigating competing interests.
