Good News About Hampshire College: We're neither filthy nor suicidal

From the consultants' presentation on our facilities situation and needs:

According to the standards of the Association of Physical Plant Administrators(APPA), our campus is not beautiful and spotless, like that of wealthier neighbors, such as Amherst, and yet it is not dirty and dilapidated, either.

"moderate dinginess."
Summary of our situation, with high demands and limited capital:
"You all haven't lost hope. Oh, that didn't come out quite right."
