I read yesterday in one of the never-ending lists of the top ten this or the top twenty that that my alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, is number nine on the worlds top universities. Of course, we were behind Harvard and Yale, that was to be expected. What made me feel good was that WE BEAT PRINCETON. They came in 13th. When I was going to Penn, we were always looked down on as the poor stepsister. We made the first computer, but Princeton had Einstein. They beat us in every sport except golf. They even had Bill Bradley who went on to play for the Knicks. We had Candace Bergen, but at the time, she was merely Edgar Bergen's daughter, Cappy, and after she was elected "homecoming Queen" the University kicked her out for skipping classes. All we really had was Ben Franklin, and he had been dead for 200 years.
Bur Finally, WE BEAT Princeton. I'll feel good for a day or two. Take that, Tigers.
