Sorry if this might seem silly, as I am more of an MIT man then WPI (I don't think I could ever back a boston college that shows only one student with a baseball cap and it is a Yankee one), but why would Dean never go back to WPI? What happened in the first place? Did they insult the segway or something?

He has gone back. He was the keynote speaker at my graduation in 2002. He rode into Harrington (indoor grad because of rain) on a Segway and gave a very good and funny speach. Actually of all the times I've heard him speak that was by far his best speech.

edit= For those who don't know, Dean would have been WPI class of 73 but he never graduated. He has since been given an honerary doctorate.

...along with about 80-billion other colleges. But at least the WPI one is at eye level, as opposed to the Babson one, which was wayyyyyyyyyyy up in the corner

In the corner of what? My best guess is that you're referring to a wall in his house where he displays such things?

Peter Matteson · #5 01-04-2004, 15:29

Yes, he has his degrees covering a wall in one of his offices. If you can go to the Founder's dinner, which I don't recommend

but that's another thread, next year you'll have the opportunity to see how many he has.

One being from the college he dropped out of amuses me. Is that wrong?
