I majored in English, not Architecture. The only reason I made a point of sitting down with this program was that I met Professor Westwood while doing amateur theatre at Carleton. He'd lead groups of architecture in doing set design and such and I was one of the resident cracked actors bollixing up the classics of western theatre. - Dhodges 02:53, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
