- The
winner was an AP major:
- Sorry
for ascribing the wrong major to Jeffrey Anker '98,
- one
of the six winners in the 2002 Collegiate Inventors
- Competition.
Mr. Anker graduated from Yale with a major in
- Applied
Physics. Had the Bulletin's faithful proofreader been
- on
the job, she would have questioned whether Mr. Anker
- who
is finishing his Ph.D. in applied physics at the University
- of
Michigan would have majored in something other than AP
- as
an undergraduate. But Ms. Lucy Giordano, Administrative
Assistant
in ME, is on medical leave. We wish her a speedy
- recovery
(the Engineering Bulletin needs her!).

- Someone
said:
- "The
things that come to those who wait are usually the things
- left by
those who got there first."
