Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India "I'm returning this note to you, instead of your paper, because it (your paper) presently occupies the bottom of my bird cage." -English Professor Providence College "You should, without hesitation, pound your typerwriter into a plowshare, your paper into fertilizer, and enter agriculture" -Business Professor University of Georgia "The world needs ditch diggers, too." -Prof. Paul Lucas, History Clark University "Plaese porrf raed." -Prof. Michael O'Longhlin S.U.N.Y.
