Another Accomplished Stutts Student

Please drop by the MySpace site of Hart Fox and say hello. Hart is currently a sophomore at my prestigious alma mater Stutts University. I particularly recommend his blurgh.

Mentioning current Stutts students seems like a good opportunity to point out that I myself went to Stutts.

So let me seize this opportunity: I myself went to Stutts. That is, I am an alumni* of Stutts University.

But please, don't be intimidated. It's really not that big a deal. (That I went to Stutts!)

*This is in fact correct usage. See comments below.

alumnus. But you probably weren't a classics major at Stutts, eh?

does Stutts have a speech pathology lab?

There was a young lawyer named Rex,
who had diminutive organs of sex.
When charged with exposure,
he replied with composure,
"de minimis non curat lex."

Alumnus? Alumni?

the CORRECT Latin,

Ah yes, the little known nominative regal, the sudden switching to plural from singular in clauses denoting affilliation with Stutts.

Stutts... is that a four-year school?

that google romance is like a parody of itself...

Err, sorry about that, I had cleared my comment form somehow. But yes, I looked up nominative regal in Wheelock's. Which of course, was used at Stutts.

For those of us who attended Stutts, it is not a 4 year school. It is forever.

Some Stutts grads doing post-grad work over at Texas U honor world class thinkers.
