Joe, It was a real school when I lived in St. Louis. You didn't have to write very well to get a degree from there. Even I have one.
What did you get your degree in at St. Louis University, a good Catholic school?
I doubt you could ever get a doctorate from there or any other university. Did you get a post card from this school. It is more you speed. I think the post card may have been addressed to you.

I received my Doctorate from St. Louis University in 1987 after I completed my dissertation consisting of 380 written pages, defending it in front of a panel of five professors, passing the written exams and orals. Many individuals starting the program did not have the tenacity to jump through the hoops and pressures of the program. My Specialist came from Truman State University where we had to complete a thesis.
Like they say in the judicial system only a fool, even a lawyer, goes to court without having a lawyer to represent them. Therefore, I hired another professional, an english teacher, my wife, to proofread my dissertation before presenting it to my committee. I have learned to try and surround myself with those who are smarter than I am. We all look the same when sitting on the "stool," from the bottom up.
The number one reason for failure in the doctorate program, which my advisor reinforced to me, was the failure of the students to jump through the hoops and the psychological pressure of the program. His quote which I still have imbedded in my mind, "To be accepted into our Doctorate fraternity you have to pay your dues and keep your cool. I doubt if loco could make it with his verbose speech. But, perhaps, he is just B.S us which is good if that is his desire. Loco reminds me of one of the individual in my classes who got p_ssed off, told off one of his committee members and was drummed out of the program after spending approximately $28,000 after he had completed all of his classes. It is called Academic Freedom for professors. Cardinal rule one, "You do not get the professors p_ssed off at you." Guess that is also a excellent rule to follow in life-keep your cool!!!!
After you get to the age of 70 you mind begins to slip!! :)
Or, maybe it is just those earlier 12 1/2 years working for the union before I crossed over as management and a professor. <gg> |
