...immediately, he will join a U.S. company because "it will start out by giving me responsibility." His choice is Cresap, McCormick and Paget, a consulting firm that will pay him about $15,000. Even before graduation, he hired out as a consultant on his thesis topic-a computer-based method of protecting companies against currency devaluations...
Mention should also be made of the Pompadour method, named after the late Izzy Pompadour. Taylor Cheesewitt Professor of Applied History, whose reading lists remain on file at the Faculty Club. The typical Pompadour list was split into five areas (with such titles as "Chaos and Collapse" and "A Wing and a Prayer"), each in turn split among books "Recommended," "Critical," "Assumed," "Incidental," and "Basic" Professor Pompadour introduced many variations upon this theme, but the most successful was his habit of withdrawing all books from Wedener at the start of each term, and relocating them to his home in greater...
There are 30 members of the Board, and they are divided by fives into six groups.

The only state laws restricting the Governing Boards apply to the Overseers--only alumni can vote, but faculty and administrative officers cannot vote of or serve on the Board. A recent article on this page indicated that--however foolhardy it would be politically to ask politicians now to consider matters affecting a university--it might be safe, in legal terms to petition the legislature to remove...
