oldest hippie universities?
 

Goddard College in Vermont, established in 1863, is often cited as one of the most enduring "hippy" or socially progressive colleges, pioneering low-residency programs, self-designed studies, and abandoning letter grades. Other notable, historically liberal, and counter-culture focused institutions include:
  • Goddard College (1863): Known for progressive education, no grades, and "plain living and hard thinking".
  • San Francisco State College (now SFSU): A key hub for the 1960s Haight-Ashbury scene, with many students joining the, at the time, developing psychedelic music scene.
  • Antioch College (1852): Historically known for its co-op education model and strong emphasis on activism and liberal arts.
  • The Evergreen State College (1967): Founded to foster interdisciplinary learning and collaborative, non-competitive studies, very popular during the counter-culture era.
  • Hampshire College (1970): Known for its open curriculum, narrative evaluations, and focus on self-directed learning.
  • UC Santa Cruz (1965): Established with a non-traditional collegiate structure aimed at fostering a liberal, unconventional academic experience.
These institutions, particularly Goddard and other early progressive, "alternative" schools, are often regarded as the cradles of the "hippie" intellectual movement in higher education

oldest hippie universities in the world



Antioch College (1859), known for early progressive education, and UC Berkeley, a 1960s counterculture hub, are among the oldest, most foundational "hippie" universities. Other pioneering progressive institutions include Naropa University (Buddhist-inspired), Atlantic College ("Hippie Hogwarts"), and Goddard College, which championed alternative, student-centered learning.
  • Antioch College (1859, Ohio): Founded by Horace Mann, it is a pioneer in progressive education, coeducation, and integrating work-study programs.
  • University of California, Berkeley (1868, California): A key epicenter of the 1960s free speech movement and hippie counterculture.
  • Goddard College (1938, Vermont): Renowned for its alternative, low-residency, and self-designed education models, often cited as a cornerstone of progressive higher education.
  • Atlantic College (1962, Wales/UK): Often called "Hippie Hogwarts," it was founded to foster peace, community service, and international understanding.
  • Naropa University (1974, Colorado): Founded by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, it is a leader in Buddhist-inspired, contemplative education.
  • Evergreen State College (1967, Washington): Known for its unconventional, non-graded, and interdisciplinary approach, forming a cornerstone of progressive education in the Pacific Northwest.
  • The New School (1919, New York): Founded as a progressive, intellectually free alternative to traditional universities.
These institutions were either established with progressive, unconventional ideals or became hotspots for countercultural thought during the mid-20th century

 why is the university of bologna considered the world's oldest university re knowledge generation (when there are older universities in India for example)?

The University of Bologna (founded 1088) is considered the world's oldest university because it was the first institution to establish the modern, legal, and structural definition of a universitas—a self-governing guild of scholars granting recognized degrees. While older institutions existed in Asia and Africa (e.g., Nalanda, Al-Karaouine), Bologna pioneered the specific academic model of independent, continuous knowledge generation.
Key reasons Bologna is considered the oldest include:
  • The Universitas Model: It was the first institution to organize as a universitas scholarium, or a student-organized guild that hired teachers, creating a new, autonomous model for higher learning.
  • Degree-Granting Structure: Bologna was the first to award formal, recognized academic degrees, setting the standard for academic certification.
  • Academic Freedom: The Constitutio Habita (1158) granted legal, independent rights to students and scholars, establishing the principle of academic freedom.
  • Continuous Operation: It has maintained continuous operation and research since its founding.
  • Definition of "University": While older institutions (like Nalanda or Al-Karaouine) were centers of high learning, historians define "university" as a specific European medieval invention characterized by self-governance and curriculum control, which began in Bologna.
Older institutions in India (e.g., Taxila, Nalanda) and the Islamic world (e.g., Al-Karaouine) were foundational centers of knowledge but functioned under different, often religious or imperial, organizational structures rather than the independent, corporate structure that defined the later European "university" systems.

oldest university in the world India ?


Nalanda University, located in Bihar, India, is widely considered one of the oldest university-level institutions in the world, founded in the 5th century CE (c. 427 CE). It was a premier residential center of learning, hosting over 10,000 students and 2,000 teachers from across Asia, focusing on Buddhist philosophy, medicine, mathematics, and astronomy.
Key Details About Ancient Nalanda University:
  • Establishment: Founded in the 5th century CE by the Gupta Empire, specifically by Emperor Kumaragupta I.
  • Peak Operation:
     It flourished for over 800 years, attracting international scholars from China, Korea, Japan, and Tibet
    .
  • Destruction: The university was destroyed by Bakhtiyar Khilji in 1193 CE.
  • Legacy: It is often regarded as the world's first residential university, preceding European universities like Bologna and Oxford by centuries.
Other Ancient Indian Institutions:
  • Takshashila (Taxila): Founded around the 6th century BCE, this is considered even older than Nalanda, though it is now located in modern-day Pakistan.
  • Vikramshila University: Established in the 8th century CE in Bihar, another major center for learning.
Recently, the Indian government has revived the legacy of the original institution by establishing a modern Nalanda University in Rajgir, Bihar

What are Leo Kottke's most hippy albums?


Based on his early 1970s acoustic work and associations, the albums often considered Leo Kottke's most "hippy"—reflecting the counterculture, acoustic folk, and Americana vibe of that era—are primarily his earliest releases.
  • 6- and 12-String Guitar (1969/1971): Often referred to as "The Armadillo Album" (due to the cover), this is the quintessential early Kottke record. It captures the raw, intricate instrumental fingerstyle sound that was popular in folk-hippie circles in the late 60s and early 70s.
  • Greenhouse (1972): This album leaned further into a laid-back, folk-rock sound, featuring more varied instrumentation while maintaining that early 70s, earthy, hippy aesthetic.
  • My Feet Are Smiling (1973): A live album that captured the raw, intimate energy of his performances from that period, reinforcing his reputation within the acoustic folk scene.
  • Ice Water (1974): Continues the mellow, melodic, and acoustic-driven style that defined the era's singer-songwriter and folk scene.
These albums, released in the immediate wake of the late 60s, showcase the virtuosic, rustic instrumental style that resonated with the counterculture, before his sound became more produced or polished later in the 70s and 80s.

10 most hippy albums from the 1960s and 70s?

Based on the psychedelic, counter-culture, and folk-influenced sounds that defined the era, here are 10 of the most "hippy" albums from the 1960s and 1970s:
  1. Jefferson Airplane – Surrealistic Pillow (1967): Considered a cornerstone of San Francisco counter-culture, featuring iconic hits like "White Rabbit".
  2. The Grateful Dead – Live/Dead (1969): Captures the essence of the Dead's improvisational, communal, and psychedelic live experience.
  3. The Beatles – Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967): A definitive album of the era that heavily influenced the psychedelic movement with its experimental production.
  4. Love – Forever Changes (1967): A masterpiece of baroque-folk-rock that perfectly captures the anxiety and beauty of the late 60s LA scene.
  5. The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Are You Experienced (1967): Redefined rock guitar and brought psychedelic blues to the forefront.
  6. The Doors – The Doors (1967): A dark, poetic, and drug-influenced debut that defined the sound of 1967.
  7. Country Joe & The Fish – Electric Music for the Mind and Body (1967): A seminal psychedelic rock album directly linked to the SF acid-rock scene.
  8. The Incredible String Band – The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter (1968): A defining album of psych-folk, featuring unconventional instruments and mystical lyrics.
  9. Crosby, Stills & Nash – Crosby, Stills & Nash (1969): Defined the harmonious, acoustic-driven "Laurel Canyon" folk-rock sound.
  10. Pink Floyd – The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967): A whimsical, space-rock debut spearheaded by Syd Barrett.
Honorable Mentions:
  • The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators (1966)

Based on the cultural impact, themes of psychedelia, anti-establishment, love, and free-spirited nature, here are 10 of the most iconic "hippy" albums from the 1960s and 1970s, along with context on their connection to university, counterculture, and underground scenes.
10 Most Iconic Hippie Albums (60s-70s)
  1. Jefferson Airplane – Surrealistic Pillow (1967): The definitive San Francisco sound. Featuring hits "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love," it was the soundtrack to the "Summer of Love".
  2. Grateful Dead – American Beauty (1970): While their earlier work was raw acid-rock, this album captured the pastoral, folk-rock, and communal essence of the late-hippie era.
  3. The Beatles – Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967): A landmark album that shifted rock into a high-art, psychedelic, and experimental phase, directly influencing the hippie counterculture.
  4. Jimi Hendrix Experience – Are You Experienced (1967): Defined the psychedelic blues-rock sound and pushed the boundaries of studio technology and guitar playing.
  5. Love – Forever Changes (1967): A baroque-pop masterpiece from Los Angeles, combining folk-rock with intricate orchestral arrangements and cynical lyrical takes on the hippie dream.
  6. The Doors – The Doors (1967): Brought dark, poetic, and drug-fueled shamanism to the mainstream, separating the "sunny" hippie vibe from the "nihilistic" psych scene.
  7. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – Déjà Vu (1970): The quintessential folk-rock harmony album that embodied the protest, love, and community ethos of the Woodstock generation.
  8. The Incredible String Band – The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter (1968): Represented the "freak folk" side of the hippie movement, with mystical, acoustic, and eclectic instrumentation.
  9. Santana – Abraxas (1970): Blended Latin rock with jazz and psychedelic jams, reflecting the multi-cultural, communal aspect of the era.
  10. Pink Floyd – The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967): Led by Syd Barrett, this album is a whimsical, fairytale-like trip that defined the UK underground scene.
Connection to Universities and Underground Scenes
  • University "Head" Scenes: Many of these bands, such as the Grateful Dead and Country Joe and the Fish, got their start playing at universities (e.g., UC Berkeley) where the counterculture was rapidly developing.
  • Psychedelic Rock Development: Albums like The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators and Ultimate Spinach were deeply tied to the "underground" and "head" culture.
  • Folk and Protest: Artists like Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, and Peter, Paul and Mary provided the soundtrack for the peace, anti-war, and civil rights movements that were heavily supported on college campuses.
  • Communal Living: Albums such as Santana's Abraxas and works by the Grateful Dead reflected the move toward communal living and "freak" culture

NSF launches $100M National Quantum and Nanotechnology Research Infrastructure program

February 13, 2026

The U.S. National Science Foundation is investing up to $100 million to establish a nationwide network of open-access research facilities for quantum and nanoscale technologies, innovation, and workforce training.

Through the new NSF National Quantum and Nanotechnology Infrastructure (NSF NQNI) program, NSF will support up to 16 sites over five years, providing students, researchers, and industry with access to state-of-the-art fabrication and characterization tools, instrumentation, and expertise. Together, the sites will form a shared national resource serving regional innovation ecosystems, including community colleges and small businesses.

NSF NQNI will accelerate U.S. leadership in quantum information science and engineering, nanotechnology, semiconductors, biotechnology, advanced manufacturing, and other emerging technologies.

"This NSF investment in research facilities will power U.S. discovery in quantum and nanotechnologies to fuel our economy," said Don Millard, head of Engineering at NSF. "With facilities open to students, faculty and small businesses, NQNI will enable transformative ideas to be explored, scaled, and translated."

NSF has invested in nanotechnology infrastructure for nearly 50 years, most recently through the NSF National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (2015–2025).

Letters of Intent are required and due March 16, 2026. For more information, contact NQNI@nsf.gov.

Learn more about this funding opportunity.
