How about a smile or a giggle to
brighten up your October day?
If you’re not familiar with the work
of Steven Wright, he’s the famous
Erudite (comic) scientist who sees
things differently than most of us.
Here are some of his gems:
I’d kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Borrow money from pessimists—they don’t expect it back.
A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
If you want the rainbow, you have got to put up with the rain.
OK, so what’s the speed of dark?
If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
When everything is coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.
Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.
I intend to live forever …. So far, so good.
Eagles may soar, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet en-gines.
My mechanic told me, “I couldn’t repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.”
If at first you don’t succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.
The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.
The colder the x-ray table, the more of your body is re-quired to be on it.
Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don’t have film.
If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you.
If your car could travel at the speed of light, would your headlights work?
The O’Neil House
An architectural treasure, the O'Neil House was designed by Meade and Hamilton and built in 1923. Hand carved linen-fold oak paneling adorns the grand foyer, leaded windows grace nearly every room, and vibrant Oriental rugs warm planked oak floors throughout.
Holiday Luncheon
Please plan to join us for the annual Holiday Luncheon.
The December event will be hosted at the O’Neil House.
This venue is a lovely Tudor mansion located in West Ak-
ron at the intersection of West Exchange Street and Mull
Avenue. Valet parking will be provided for all. The price
of the holiday lunch is set at $25 per person; a maximum
of 50 guests can be accommodated. The Bridge group
will play immediately after the luncheon.
More details about this December 11th holiday event,
menu, and parking will be provided in the next news-
letter.
The Investiture of Scott Scarborough, Ph.D.
On September 19, 2014, President Scott Scarborough was
installed as our 16th president. The festivities began with a
modern ceremony that celebrated the University, its students
and the power of public higher education.
It was the University's first investiture in 15 years. Read more
