...Okay, I admit there are some problems with this goal. Penn State tends to win a few more games than Harvard every year and might even edge out the Crimson in head-to-head competition. It is hard to generate fan loyalty to a team that plays a competitive game with Columbia...
...called "well read"), their snobbery impregnable (one boy doesn't have a driver's license because, he tuts, "I'm no jock!"). They know they are out of fashion and cheerfully debate their irrelevance, like dinosaurs analyzing their own bones. Most of them are moneyed, but they soon must admit to a crucial class distinction: between the aristocracy of the desired and the proletariat of the unloved.

...reasoning behind the "go-fer" misconception, however, is not completely unfounded, they admit. Because professors' projects tend to be complicated, cutting-edge endeavors, it can be difficult to find meaningful tasks that undergraduates--with their limited experience--can undertake. And with limited funds and little time for training, even the most well-intentioned professor may be at a loss when charged with putting a research assistant to good...
