Can anyone give me some help in locating a Doonesbury strip, where Doonesbury has gone to a student conference, and he is rooming with a student from “CIT.” He tells the guy that he doesn’t have much interest in science, but he is sure they can find things in common. The CIT student replies, “Roger, null set.”
Do you have any idea when it was published?

Hi ClaremontMom, sorry, I can’t narrow the time frame beyond sometime between about 1972 and 1985! Thanks for the suggestions! I will try them out.
Page 22 of this issue of the CalTech newspaper contains a reference: http://caltechcampuspubs.library.caltech.edu/1014/1/1972_06_01_73_31.pdf (lower left corner, just about the Feynmann quotation)
Thanks, found it!
Now you have to post it!

Ok. What makes this so significant?
No big deal, it’s just a stereotype of Caltech students, used for humor. I think Trudeau was making fun of the stereotype, rather than making fun of Caltech students. (At least I hope so.) I remembered it all these years, and just wanted to access it now. Not directly related to college admissions.
