    Congratulations to a lot of very fortunate young people.

    Go to a state school, kids. You'll save a bundle and get a better education, trust me.

    I'm with Stu. Got a great education at state schools before joining the faculty here. Success is not connections or privileges, folks; it's brains, hard work, and staying hungry.
