Well considering the luminaries I had to sit through included Jacques Cousteau and Carl Sagan, I can't say their standards have fallen that much.
I guess this means that your are an alum. Please be sure to write to the 'Tute and let them know how you feel; and don't be afraid to encourage like-minded classmates to do the same.
And BTW, I don't know about Cousteau, but Sagen was a charlatan not a crook.
