Jonathon, 
 
An application to the University of Connecticut which discussed history 
of thought and an interest in cross-disciplinary work would have gotten 
your immediate attention.  We regularly list gradaute courses in other 
departments (history, political science, sociology, statistics, geography) 
which may interest our students; we are disappointed more don't take 
advantage of the opportunity to gain an understanding of other disciplines 
and draw on them for their own research and teaching. 
 
But I recognize that we have been--for many years now--swimming against 
the tide.  But when we started swimming that way with more determination, 
we actually did better, as I explained earlier, in both attracting strong 
students and placing our doctorates.  Some maybe all is not lost.
