Graduate Anecdotes
Jazz provides this anecdote about her excellent advisor:
The Advisor and I went over to the library together towards the beginning of the semester so that he could make me a proxy on his library card, and on the way I mentioned that I needed to get a carrel at the library. His advice was to get one on the fifth floor, where the exit to the stacks is located, because...it’s annoying to have to haul books up and down the stairs? I’m easily confused and may forget where I came in? The fifth floor is the only one that isn’t infested with bats? No, his reasoning was because there aren't sprinklers in the book stacks. He informed me quite earnestly that "books don't burn easily: people more so." The parental combined with the paranoid is too funny; I do love that man.
