    "The announcement that the University of Cambridge has appointed the world's first Lego professor of play gives new meaning to the phrase "red-brick university". Professor Paul Ramchandani will lead a team "examining the importance of play in education". And, presumably, building awesome spaceships that turn into Durham Cathedral. I have a one-year-old son who might agree; try as I might, I just cannot get him to recite Homer or parse a sonnet. I have, however, watched in childish joy as he tumbles through Duplo and teddy mountains, rolling in grass like an explorer on a new planet. It is a new planet - new to him. All he wants to do, it seems, is play."
