 		Sorry to double-post, but I'm putting up a twitter conversation I had with Mia that seems to be relevant:

 		Good work I thought I recognised the Prof's name:

Enoch Bowen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Haunter_of_the_Dark#Enoch_Bowen

Though probably just used for Lovecraftian connections.

ETA: Or not, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Starry_Wisdom

ETA2:
Quote:
As a teacher, Enoch Bowen was best known for failing more students than he passed, and his vigilance to discipline as the key to success has carried over. In the past year he has been promoted to the administration, where he mostly works with the other faculty rather than with students–but his enthusiasm for success has not diminished. The work he has put into enriching Innsbruck in the past year as an administrator, so short a time, has yet to be matched.
When he is not generating new curriculum ideas, Mr. Bowen enjoys spending time with his wife and four children, Joey, Fred, Bob, and, most importantly, Professor Kitty.


Is Kitty a cat? If it is I like the PM's sense of humour.

ETA3: OMG I'm so blind, 99% of Staff & Faculty have a thing for cats:http://www.innsbruckacademy.org/?page_id=49 Practically staring me in the face.

 		Update on Innsbruck Academy's twitter account!

There's been two disappearances: Allison Nuss and Mary Torren! Last seen on March 14th and they're just announcing it NOW.

Ladies are vanishing! This is a pandemic.

 		Another update on this:

Phoebe is going to see Joe's brother, Geoff, today becuase he wanted to talk to her. Joe was supposed to go as well, but couldn't because he was busy.

So that's happening. Also, Phoebe in twitter agreed to look up those girls who vanished and will get back to me about them once she's got the chance. ANyone else hear anything of interest?

OYM,

I don't know that I would put it that way, but yes, cats are quite popular
here! Every faculty and staff member who lives on campus owns at least
one. Remarkable animals, don't you think? It seems like every civilization
has given them special powers at some point or another.

Probably a trout but the:

Of course we're going to need a Facebook in this day and age. But I'm sure
you recognize the difference between having a social media presence as an
institution and being on Facebook all day instead of fulfilling your
academic responsibilities.

As far as I know, Gordon Lake was a smart businessman who figured out when
things were gonna get too complicated for him, so he took off in a
dramatic but memorable fashion. He was never an educator, that much is for
sure. But then I didn't know the guy.

I am curious as to what

means exactly? Contradictory statements again.

 		hi, this looks interesting!

On the last page of the Admission PDF you are asked to
Quote:
Describe an experience when you overcame the unknown.


Sounds a bit odd to me...

Also, quite remarkable that Brandan Murphy grew up speeking Elvish...

 		Unlurking
Read through the topic thread. I'm thinking of emailing the Innsbruck admin and seeing if they are taking applications for dorm parents saying that some of the alum I know have really talked up Innsbruck and think I would be a good fit for it.

 		Hmmm, seems like there's a student email system set up:

http://mailboxes.innsbruckacademy.org/

I wonder if any of the missing students' passwords would be possible to obtain....might be interesting to see if they received anything weird prior to going missing....

I emailed them this morning to see if there was anything I could do to help with the big reunion, but got nothing so far.....
