Does anyone know anything about the Gulf Park campus? Did it survive? St. Thomas Catholic Church, which stood beside the campus, is gone. Washed away. The Sun Herald said that everything south of 2nd Street in Long Beach is gone. The Long Beach Harbor is gone. ...

The recent release of the 2006 USNWR university rankings dealt a serious body blow to Thames' hopes of retaining his presidency beyond May of 2007.
