Long Ago, In Novo Portu
July 11, 2006
Today my Yale degrees were turned down by my provider of automobile insurance as proof that I am a college educated lady who deserves a lower premium.
They are a bit aged — the second one awarded in anno domini MCMLXXIX (et Universitatis Yalensis CCLXXIX) — but they’re still good. The problem is that they are in Latin, and the insurance person declared that they must be in English.
So much for a classic education.
