Well you guys have been pretty good at guessing the mystery campus. But in addition I'd like you to tell me the answer to the riddle/hint. (Last week no one really explained what the first part of the riddle meant - even after Bil posted an additional hint in the comment section.)
So here is this week's campus:

And the hint:
Should you obey your leaders?
I'll refrain from confirming a correct answer until the weekend.

As we correct for the earth's rotation by adding a leap day, I'll add an extra campus to this week's edition of Map That Campus. (Yes two for the price of one!)
Here's the first mystery campus:
And below the fold is the second mystery campus:
hint:
Even
Possibilities unseen require
Some…
The first Map that Campus of 2008. My apologies to the NU posse who have been patiently waiting not to see their alma mater.
And so without wasting any more words, here is this week's mystery campus:
hint: It's definitely not on Mike Huckabee's campaign tour!
Leave your answer in the comments…
Here's one for you:
Last week's hint was fatal, this week's hint: deadly particle.
Leave your answers in the comment section, or if you don't want to ruin it for others, email me and I'll post all your answers over the weekend.
(And no, the forest on the left is not home to Willie the Wildcat.)
A challenge! Can anyone beat Willie's posse to the correct answer?
Here is this week's mystery campus:
hint: He's coming over in April.
Answers can be deposited in the comment section (or email me, if you prefer.)
You added less edging initially
I assume you're talking about protein conformations last week. Although if Watson and Crick are to be believed, Pauling did botch the structure DNA pretty badly.
That looks quite a bit like my old home of Yale
And if I'm correct, you're pointing to Nathan Hale!
Oh, the rhyming...
Yes, actually, less easy, please.
Pauling obviously didn't get DNA correct. He did, however, recognize and solve one of the most beautiful things in nature, the alpha helix. He also did a great job getting all the constraints correct so that his measurements held on for generations.
I don't like that your clues are getting away from science. That part makes the game more fun.
And so? As Bil pointed out, his work on determining the main conformations of protein secondary structure (alpha helix and beta sheet) are landmark discoveries. Why crap on Pauling like that??? Watson and Crick had many failed DNA structures as well, should we think any less of them?
And Bil,
The hint actualy refers to a famous experiment conducted at Yale (Chris and Elia you're both right about the location). I phrased the hint so that it could also be interpretted (as you point out) with a non-scientific answer.
Hmmm . . . the Bush reference is obvious, and I think I know the answer to the other reference. But I'll leave it at that because otherwise I'll ruin it for you.
Oh, of course! That experiment. Rhymes with a person who came to America with buckles on his shoes (non-proper noun).
Poly,
Yup that is correct. For anyone who may read this, I'll give another hint ... think psychology/sociology.
