"Ilium fuit", as they taught us in school.  

But merely closing the lab is not enough, they want to
raze the structure, (and likely salt the fields, too)
Sue Cobey already fled the jurisdiction, so at least 
our women are safe from these Visigoths.

I find it highly amusing that they plead poverty, but 
somehow have the cash to contract with a demolition 
company and build a brand-spankin' new building on the site.

I'm not sure what the historical significance of the
building itself might be, but Ohio State is clearly 
getting out of the business of bee research just when
serious money starts to become available.  Duh.
