> When I was an undergraduate at MIT I loved it. I thought it was a great place, and I wanted to go to graduate school there too, of course. But when I went to Professor Slater and told him of my intentions, he said, "We won’t let you in here."

> I said, "What?"

> Slater said, "Why do you think you should go to graduate school at MIT?"

> "Because MIT is the best school for science in the country."

> "You think that?"

> "Yeah."

> "That's why you should go to some other school. You should find out how the rest of the world is."
