Gradualation 2005

[Michael Oltmans <moltmans@>]

Today a number among us have failed in their calling as Gradual 
Students.  Due to circumstances beyond their control they have 
accidentally typed hundreds of pages of scientific gobbledy-gook, 
figures, tables, and test sets.  With a large enough stapler and the 
right paper stock it became a thesis.  Now with their silly hats and 
drab robes have completed a medieval ceremony involving being wrapped in 
a mysteriously named piece of material known as a hood, and been thus 
inducted into a secret society which only someone in a silly hat can 
tell you about.

And now they must venture out, into a world where there is no free food. 
 Where there is no spring break.  Where there is not even the hope of 
working in nearly so "interesting" a building as we have here at CSAIL. 
   And with them we loose one more generation of lore and wisdom of the 
bad old days in AI and LCS and good ol' NE43.  Where GSB Fridges and 
LISP machines could live in chilly harmony.  Back in the days when NE43 
offices commanded magnificent views of the beautiful courtyard, the roof 
of the Polaroid building and through the light speckled leaves of trees 
to the Whitehead institute.  And of course, who could forget, the cozy 
confines of the playrooms.

So to all of you that have strayed so far and now plan to face the evil 
"Real World," you swore you would never enter, fare ye well, email often 
and come to one more (hopefully not your last)...

              For those coming from elsewhere: Building 32 is
               <http://whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg?selection=32>
          Once you are in 32, just take the G-elevator to the 9th
      floor and we will be in the lounge that you will be looking at
