Thought for the day

For the first 5 years after college, MIT students make 5x as much as Stanford students.
For the next 30 years, MIT students work for Stanford students.
The reason is because MIT students can't read or write.

- John Deutsch (former MIT provost) as paraphrased by Frank Solomon (MIT professor of biology)

Not exactly sure what it means for me, a Stanford graduate, to be teaching MIT students to read and write!
