From Ward's Letter

I'm posting a bit from Ward's annual newsletter that I thought was funny.




Sacrifices Made for Quality Education

Because paying tuition is simply not enough, many families with college students are finding alternative ways to support the institutions of higher learning to which their lives, their loved ones, and their bank accounts are inextricably linked.
The family pictured above has contributed to the shrinking endowment of their daughter's college not only by purchasing vast quantities of branded apparel, but also by offering to donate the family dog as a gesture of good will.
“It probably won't get a building named after us, but it is the least we can do,” they say. “She's a good dog and we'll miss her, but maybe she can help out with fundraising by doing tricks to entertain wealthy aliumni.” So far, there has been no comment from the dog.

Well, the Wesleyan would probably prefer Tucker or Tintin over that scruffy animal, but, of course, they will be going to Post and URI.
