marite,

It was Stanford. It was 4 years ago in Washington. The main I I ME ME person talked for 45 minutes about she wrote a book on an obscure 14th century English Poet. She talked about how her researchers had come to Stanford to pursue biology and science degrees and how with her support they changed to literature. She was quite proud of herself. I saw her as someone who may have used her position of trust to better herself finanically. I guess I’ll never know if those researchers made out for themselves.

I understand this isn’t exclusive of Stanford and all Stanford’s professors aren’t that way. As I said, if the last professor was the only one to speak… GO CARDINAL!

Profs are people. People who have all sorts of motivations good and not so good. We can only hope that those who advise us, truly have our best interests at heart. I would say 90% of the time that is probably correct.
