...students' unfamiliarity with final clubs to propagate a body of unfounded mythology that has little bearing on reality.

Those of us with illusions of power and grandeur have always dreamed of having our entrances marked in such a fashion. But perhaps next week those enthusiastic Adams students will announce our names and full titles as well. In a final note...
