What might have the discoverer of LSD have created if he had taken up Landscape Architecture rather than Chemistry?  What might Tom Doak have accomplished if he had stuck it out at MIT rather than moving to Cornell?  Ou est les neiges d'antan?

Paisley and tie-dye fescue strains. (Or was that Desmond Muirhead?)

Maybe the same courses as French GCA Robert Berthet?

Read this in Delta Sky Miles the other day...check out a few of his courses, they look like the result of a bad trip...

I always thought Desmond Muirhead discovered LSD.

Dan -

You have it backwards.

You take LSD to discover Desmond Muirhead.

Rihc,

I don't know the answers to your first two questions, but I'm fairly certain the snows of yesteryear are still in Minnesota.
