Who needs higher education?

Recently at the invitation of my college roommate (three years together, same room, 211 W. Wengatz) I attended the ceremony in which he, Dr. James B. Hall, was honored as a distinguished alumnus of Taylor University.

In his brief remarks delivered during the chapel service Jim mentioned a once popular, small volume, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten authored by Robert Fulghum.  "It is worth reviewing," advised Jim, of "his Top Ten admonitions, all of which are practical, on many levels": 

1-share everything
2-play fair
3-don’t hit people
4-put things back where you found them
5-clean-up your own mess
6-don’t take things that aren’t yours
7-say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody
8-wash your hands before you eat
9-flush
10-warm cookies and cold milk are good for you
