#1 Stanford is just another paper mill. If they go away, it won't be any loss to America.

#2 When I was 11 years old I learned this song from a Stanford alumni rock climber.

Leland Stanford Junior Farm.mp3

My eyes are dim I can not see
I have not brought my specks with me
I have, hey, not, ho, brought my specks with me.
Oh it's beer, beer, beer that makes you want to cheer
On the farm, on the farm
It's beer, beer, beer that makes you want to cheer
On the Leland Stanford Junior Farm.

My eyes are dim I can not see
I have not brought my specks with me
I have, hey, not, ho, brought my specks with me.
Well it's gin, gin, gin that makes you want to sin
On the farm, on the farm
It's gin, gin, gin that makes you want to sin
On the Leland Stanford Junior Farm.

Chorus

It's whisky, whisky, whisky that makes you feel so frisky
On the farm, etc.

It's hot roast duck that makes you want a ...... SANDWICH
On the farm, on the farm.
Oh, it's hot roast duck that makes you want a sandwich
On the Leland Stanford Junior Farm

#3 That song shows exactly the problems that crop up when amateurs are allowed to make up their own. ;-)

Trailing daughter #2 found the most frustrating things about her Business Honours program classmates were that they were obsessed with getting drunk and they were so unserious about learning anything. She continues to be grateful to her employers — both the three internships and the Japanese Car Company that hired her upon graduation — for being exactly as businesslike as she yearned for while at school.
