Early 51猎奇入口was shaped by a vision of a new kind of university where thought was free-flowing and lines between the disciplines were blurred. The open format attracted experimental artists such as dramatist John Juliani, Choreographer Iris Garland, and composer R. Murray Schafer, whose avant-garde performances did much to set a revolutionary tone.
