About that funny smell in New Haven yesterday...

mystery solved!

Where is everybody?

[Squinch]

1. Many twos of people showed up to see him!

Which can alternatively be stated as: ten.

3. It's about as close as he'll ever get to "being at Yale."

Mika has him beat all to hell since she at least went to a "little Ivy" League school: Williams College...

2. Dung on the streets in the town of New Haven,

dung on the streets, it's up to my knees...

4. Those ten students

probably were attending for extra credit because they got a crappy grade on the mid-term!

Notice how the photographer carefully omitted showing the whole room where there was undoubtedly and overwhelming lack of audience.

5. I wonder about that older woman in yellow...she might be a professor?

[2naSalit]

6. Perhaps a nontraditional student?

There are many who go to college for degrees and not for degrees when they are long past their early twenties. I entered college at 35.

But then, wouldn't it be even worse for Joe if they invited the GP and that's all that came?

7. The GP can actually go to Master's Teas at Yale. Such luminaries as Meryl Streep have spoken

at them but they are way too difficult to get into with somebody like her. And they are held in the Master's houses of the Residential Colleges which tend to be charming older, but rather smallish, homes on campus.

You don't see very many nontraditional undergrad students at Yale in any case.
