Interesting story I heard last night........
Apparently this is the most happening place on the Chicago campus.
The University of Chicago has had 473 convocations in its history (one each quarter of the academic year, plus on special occasions). Some students scanned in the texts of all the speeches given at each of these convocations, and were able to do term searches. The words "Plato" and "Aristotle," for example, came up very often, but when they typed in the word "fun"........nothing. For those familiar with Chicago's reputation, this won't come as a surprise, but I find it quite amusing, especially in the face of those who say the Notre Dame administration won't let us have any fun.
