A diamond to Post- Magazine. We love you forever.
A diamond to Professor of History Gordon Wood, who received a National Humanities Medal from President Obama at the White House Wednesday. Our boy is wicked smahht.
A diamond to the parents of the baseball team's newest catcher, whose name is Wes Van Boom.
Coal to the student activities endowment, which has made no progress toward its goal of raising $17 million to eliminate the student activities fee since receiving an initial gift of $100,000 two years ago. We hear that at Harvard they pay the students to participate in activities.
A diamond to the three squirrels who have found their way into dormitories this year. We hear that at Harvard squirrels get their own dorms.
A cubic zirconium to the school in Cambridge that announced yesterday that the Reserve Officers' Training Corps would be welcome back on its campus. We hear that it was Harvard.
Coal to the Department of Public Safety for doing too little too late by stationing six police officers to protect the Jewelry District starting this summer. Have they been to the Jewelry District lately? The jewelry's already gone.
A diamond to string theorist Brian Greene, who told an audience in MacMillan 117 Wednesday about "the possibility that our universe is like a single grain of sand on this huge beach of universes." We look forward to your guest lecture in MRJN 0900: "Dude, Want to Hear Something Nuts?"
A diamond to Ahmed Shawki MA'77, who told an audience in Barus and Holloy Wednesday that "Egypt, the country, is rising." Let's see the global warming alarmists explain that.
Coal to the e-mail scam that hit campus Monday attempting to get students to reveal their user identifications, passwords and dates of birth. Nice try, but we actually know a Nigerian prince in Buxton.
A cubic zirconium to Professor of Geological Sciences Peter Schultz who described the NASA mission Stardust-NeXT, which was designed to get pictures of a comet, as "like finals here at Brown." Correct, in that it involved "stardust" and the realization that a huge sum of money was being spent to get something nice to look at.
And finally a diamond to Associate Dean of Biological Sciences Marjorie Thompson '74 PhD'79 P'02 P'07 P'09 P'12 P'14.
