There was a story circulated in my graduate student days about a wedding involving a male graduate student and a female non-economist. One of the tables at the reception included four male economist friends of the groom and four female non-economist friends of the bride, so as to encourage mingling of the two tribes. One of the four male economists told the following joke:
Q: How do you know there is spring in Chicago?
A: Continuity.
One by one each of the four female non-economists excused herself, never to return to the table.
This story comes to mind this morning because our last real snow in Ann Arbor was three weeks ago today. The forecast high for today is 77.
Who was my favorite student this term?
7 years ago
