Every single item in this column brought a smile to my face but the last one, which perfectly conveys the Rice I know so well, made me laugh out loud:
I don’t know much about the author, young Mr. Hanovich, other than that he wrote (very well) for the Thresher for several years and that he had quite a keen eye for the special brand of absurdity that thrives in academic institutions. His “Incidental Intelligence” column has been one of the highlights of my research on the 1960s at Rice.
Bonus: It sounds like a joke my kids might make about how old I am, but this looks like a wooden computer to me.
