I'm working on a University project about Buckminster Fuller. He's a visionary architect/engineer - so would that go in the science or the arts department?

I don't think those distinctions matter very much. The idea was that those of us who were scientists would subscribe to that part part of the University and so on, but I don't think that's actually happened. I'd love to be proved wrong, but I don't think anyone pays much attention to Uni projects until they're in PR anyway...

I've just incorprated both EMR and Mal's comments into the top of my PS. They make a very pleasing pyramid effect with Leo's comment above.
