Georgetown University has an incipient music program (the orchestra has no trombonists, which confines them to playing the first three movements of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and a bunch of Haydn). Guess where the Jesuits decided to put them for ensemble rehearsals as well as individual practice? In the basement of the New North building, directly underneath the Department of Theology's study area. Apparently there has been some tension. Can't imagine why.

Well, it will help the theology students cultivate that Fruit of the Spirit that is so lacking in our modern world: long-suffering.

"Welcome to Hell - here's your accordion."
Hey! I used to play the accordian.
That's just a caption from an old Far Side cartoon.
I suppose the source of the tension must be from the new orchestra having to hear the heterodox garbage being spewed from the theologians above them. ;-)
Anything that annoys the Georgetown Theology department is fine by me.
I know. I've seen the cartoon. WRT the GU Jesuits, in fairness, it should be mentioned that they're not all bad. Fr. Tom King, SJ, for instance, a GU theology prof and the founder of University Faculty for Life.
