One-hundred diamonds to the John Hay on its 100th birthday, and another for its copy of a book with handwritten notes by Galileo himself. We think we saw some annotations from him in the Rock bathroom, too.
Diamond to the marijuana-growing school opening in Barrington this month — but coal to Brown not offering a "joint" degree program with it.
Diamond to the Chipotle headed our way. Finally, a place to eat after our horticulture studies class in Barrington!
Cubic zirconium to the linguistics professor who said of the temporary Wayland Square lab space, "as far as parking goes, this is paradise." The only downside is being so far from campus you need to call a Big Yellow Taxi to get back.
Cubic zirconium to Brown, whose donations dropped a quarter last year. We dropped a quarter once, but we found it under the couch.
Diamond to Professor of Anthropology Stephen Houston for finding what he termed "primordial bling" in Guatemala. We thought Ruth wore it great at Convocation Wednesday.
Coal to University emergency planners, who identified the Ratty as a vital location. What are we going to do, shelter under hot hams on bulky rolls?
Coal to this weather — but maybe we should save it for the winter.
