Y A L E

A speaker at a college annual dinner was a man from Yale. He started out by spelling the name of the institution and then continued,
"Y stands for Youth!"
He spoke for 15 minutes about "youth."
"A stands for Achievement!"
He spoke for 15 minutes about "Achievement."
"L stands for Learning!"
He spoke for 15 minutes about "Learning.".
His audience were looking surreptitiously at their watches.
"E stands for Excellence"
He then spoke for a further half hour about "excellence."

The Master then rose and, thanking their guest, he also expressed thanks to God that their distinguished visitor was not from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Then he sat down.
