Oh, and here’s the Boyer quote from a couple years ago:

[Huge rise in applications most dramatic in U.S. – The Chicago Maroon](Rambling and flat, this family turmoil doesn’t amount to a handful of cherries – Chicago Maroon)

“Boyer compared the University with Columbia, which also features a core curriculum and defines itself by its urban environment. “I believe we’re a better university than they are, so I think we should get more applications than they do,” he said.”

Just like Know took Abbott’s speech without being mindful of who Abbott is, people could easily misconstrue Boyer’s words - which I jokingly refer to as “fightin’ words” in another post. Again, if you meet these professors, you’d see immediately what they mean and what they’re all about. Knowthyself, you might want to do more homework next time, if you haven’t met Abbott.
