Apologies for this interior view photo being so dark. This is because it was taken through the porch window glass, which would not permit a photo flash illumination.

Flowers and Monument Announce Montana State University Bozeman.
“The real University, he said, has no specific location. It owns no property, pays no salaries and receives no material dues. The real University is a state of mind. It is that great heritage of rational thought that has been brought down to us through the centuries and which does not exist at any specific location. It’s a state of mind which is regenerated throughout the centuries by a body of people who traditionally carry the title of professor, but even that title is not part of the real University. The real University is nothing less than the continuing body of reason itself.“

This Is My First View of Montana Hall on the Montana State University Campus. "In addition to this state of mind, "reason," there’s a legal entity which is unfortunately called by the same name but which is quite another thing. This is a nonprofit corporation, a branch of the state with a specific address. It owns property, is capable of paying salaries, of receiving money and of responding to legislative pressures in the process.
But this second university, the legal corporation, cannot teach, does not generate new knowledge or evaluate ideas. It is not the real University at all.

A Peek Out This Third Floor Fire Escape Door Reveals the Narrator’s Madison Mountain Range in the Distance
“ I step inside and an avalanche of memory, loosened by the jolt of the print, begins to come down. The light on the print comes from a miserable cramped window in the adjacent wall through which he looked out onto and across the valley onto the Madison Range and watched the storms come in and while watching this valley before me now through this window here, now—started the whole thing, the whole madness, right here! This is the exact spot!“
Montana Hall, Montana State University, Bozeman MT This workroom is probably very close to the location of the Narrator’s old office; however, due to building renovations the third floor has been entirely changed so it is not easy to recognize where the old professor’s offices may have been..

Entrance to President's Office, MSUB.
Does Anyone Know Anything about Sara’s Old Office, Where Was It Located, or What It Looked Like?
“And that door leads to Sarah’s office. Sarah! Now it comes down! She came trotting by with her watering pot between those two doors, going from the corridor to her office, and she said, "I hope you are teaching Quality to your students." This in a la-de-da, singsong voice of a lady in her final year before retirement about to water her plants. That was the moment it all started. That was the seed crystal. …. The one sentence "I hope you are teaching Quality to your students" was said to him, and within a matter of a few months, growing so fast you could almost see it grow, came an enormous, intricate, highly structured mass of thought, formed as if by magic.“
Montana Hall, Montana State University, Bozeman MTWhere was Sara’s office? Do you have access to an English Department floor plan? Do you have any old photographs, documents, publications (prior the building renovation). that show (even in the background, anything about Sarah, the English Department classrooms, the English Faculty or their offices, etc? If you can help, please contact me.New Topic: Above Picture shows entrance to MSUB President's Office. Mr. Pirsig said "I looked in there [Montana Hall] one year and found the President of the University sitting where my students used to be."

It is my understanding that ZMM author Robert Pirsig, with his family, lived in a Montana State University staff housing village Southeast of campus center. Here is a photo of one of the remaining homes in this village. IDEA: Could this house be purchased and converted into a “Robert Pirsig Museum”? What better place than the campus where it all happened? In the summer time when “Pirsig Pilgrims” come through, seminars on Pirsig and ZMM could be give here by MSUB professors. Even Pirsig Inspired Writing Seminars and related work shops could be given! 109-0908_IMG.JPG

Continuous Flowing Mountain Spring Water, Hyalite Canyon Campground, Gallatin Gateway MT. In the serenity of the Early Morning Montana Mountains this clear smooth water flow "lenses" the trees and sky beyond. Study closely here and then repeat with the next clear water you find. Pirsig and Quality sould be, will be, there! (Photo = 108-0865_IMG.JPG)

Shadow and Halo In the Early Morning Heavy Dew.
Bright sunshine on early morning heavy large dew droplets creates this clearly seen halo around my "head". I truly received a blessing! Is this physical example the origin of the angle halo concept, which was then later used by artists to show in paintings the holiness of the early Christian Saints?
…A related optical phenomenon called the "Glory", is from fog droplets (not drops on grass) and also causes a "ring halo" is seen in =>
