Not a bad 2-a.m.-over-a-bottle-of-wine discussion, eh? What parts of society would die if colleges and universities disappeared?
Liz O’Neill puts out a not-so-serious list in The Huffington Post and gives a few reasons.I have to say that a few haven’t changed from my college days in the 80s, and some must be brand new.
I’ve added a few of my own. What are yours?
Here’s the bare-bones list:
- Interstate Bus Lines
- The MLA
- The People Who Make Women’s Sportswear with Words Across the Butt
- Lanyard Suppliers
- Squirrels
- Registrars
- Certain Ping Pong Ball Manufacturers
- Starbucks
- Hacky Sacks
- Frisbees
- Domino’s Pizza
- The Dalai Lama
