In Montana State University’s Montana Hall, Henry Gurr, After Asking 3 Successive Staff Persons, finally Found A MSU Provost Office Worker, Who Had A Key To Their Storage Room. And There It Was!
… A View Of Robert Pirsig's Montana Hall Old Office With=> "miserable cramped window", and "This is the exact spot!",
…Which Is Also Where Was Located =>.."A Print Of A Painting, Feininger’s "Church of the Minorites,” , Probably Over Pirsig’s Desk Somewhere To The Left, by The Windows..

In The Full Passage, ZMM Narrator Said =>
..."On the way out I open one more door, compulsively. There on the wall I see something which sends a spine-tingling feeling along my neck.
…It’s a painting. I’ve had no recollection of it but now I know he bought it and put it there. And suddenly I know it’s not a painting, it’s a print of a painting he ordered from New York and which DeWeese had frowned at because it was a print and prints are of art and not art themselves, a distinction he didn’t recognize at the time. But the print, Feininger’s "Church of the Minorites," had an appeal to him that was irrelevant to the art in that its subject, a kind of Gothic cathedral, created from semiabstract lines and planes and colors and shades, seemed to reflect his mind’s vision of the Church of Reason and that was why he’d put it here. All this comes back now. This was his office. A find. This is the room I am looking for!
...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!
…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.”

Iconic Montana Hall, On The Montana State University Campus, With July 13, 2024. The ZMM Riders.

…THIS PHOTO PROVIDES SPACE TO SAY => END ZMM Chapter 15 & End ZMM Part II, Where The ZMM Narrator Ends With => …
…. “ A few days later, when Sarah trotted by again she stopped and said, "I’m so happy you’re teaching Quality this quarter. Hardly anybody is these days."
…."Well, I am," he said. "I’m definitely making a point of it.
…."Good!" she said, and trotted on.” [Later Paragraph ] ..
... “Three hours of sleep and he was so tired he knew he wouldn’t be up to giving a lecture that day, and besides, his notes had never been completed, so he wrote on the blackboard: "Write a 350-word essay answering the question, What is quality in thought and statement?" Then he sat by the radiator while they wrote and thought about quality himself. .. ” [Later Paragraph ] ..
... … Quality—you know what it is, yet you don’t know what it is. But that’s self-contradictory. But some things are better than others, that is, they have more quality. But when you try to say what the quality is, apart from the things that have it, it all goes poof! There’s nothing to talk about. But if you can’t say what Quality is, how do you know what it is, or how do you know that it even exists? If no one knows what it is, then for all practical purposes it doesn’t exist at all. But for all practical purposes it really does exist. What else are the grades based on? Why else would people pay fortunes for some things and throw others in the trash pile? Obviously some things are better than others—but what’s the "betterness"? -- So round and round you go, spinning mental wheels and nowhere finding anyplace to get traction. What the hell is Quality? What is it? “.
