Old saying: It’s tough to get into an Ivy League school, but easy to get out.

Side story: I was a chemistry major. Nothing easy about that. On some exams, 1/4 of the class failed. And yes Organic Chemistry, I’m talking about you.

Ah, but I had to take this one liberal arts course. It was a large class, say 200 students. On the first exam, half the class got an A (including me). All the rest got B’s. Except there was one C. Nothing lower.

I got the message. Do not study for this class. Wing it, and you’ll do just fine. Instead spend that time trying to figure out the steps in synthesizing cyclobutane.

I had some professors, male and female, that I was able to finagle an ‘A’ in their classes just by taking the ‘liberal’ viewpoint on everything. It was too easy..........
