I’ve known more than my share of “endowment graduates” in academia.

Most of the Arabs I knew got called home in their junior year only to appear 2 years later.
After a good strong lesson on staying sober.

I was great friends with the son of the Qatari Minister of Oil and Gas Development.
I bought HIM (and his hollow leg) drinks!

Yes, but you’re part bird dog. I’m not sure I ever heard the word “endowment” on campus. LOL. Associated with a student, anyway.

You’ll say “What’s a “Department”, or a “School of ___”, if not full of students!”

Wouldn’t you know your close Qatari pal would be oil & gas. A suspicious lot, some of us.

I think Ireland is worse than I am. 😀 Hi, Bob!🎉
