UConn Joins Folger Institute Consortium

[jostar1]

The University of Connecticut has been invited to join the Folger Institute’s consortium of more than 40 college and university members. The Folger Institute is a center for advanced study and collections-focused research in the humanities at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C.

The consortium currently comprises some of the most prestigious academic institutions in North America and the United Kingdom – only a third of which are public. These include the University of Maryland, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, The Ohio State University, Pennsylvania State University, and the University of Virginia. The consortium sponsors scholarly programs at the Institute.

Does this mean that I have to switch from Maxwell House to Folgers?

the best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup. That is one of those jingles that never leaves your memory.

Maybe the institutions listed are there for a particular reason. They could've listed any.

So does this help our AAU/B1G resume or is it not worth a hill of (coffee) beans?

JERRY: Oh, I'm glad you're here, so we can get this all straightened out. Would you like a cup of tea?
BOOKMAN: You got any coffee?
JERRY: Coffee?
BOOKMAN: Yeah. Coffee.
JERRY: No, I don't drink coffee.
BOOKMAN: Yeah, you don't drink coffee? How about instant coffee?
JERRY: No, I don't have--
BOOKMAN: You don't have any instant coffee?
JERRY: Well, I don't normally--
BOOKMAN: Who doesn't have instant coffee?
JERRY: I don't.
BOOKMAN: You buy a jar of Folger's Crystals, you put it in the cupboard, you forget about it. Then later on when you need it, it's there. It lasts forever. It's freeze-dried. Freeze-dried Crystals.
JERRY: Really? I'll have to remember that.

That episode was the best Seinfeld show, IMO. Pee Pee's and wee wee's.

This is the ACC's strategy. Put UConn on the shelf, forget about it. Later if you need it, it's there.

Is this the Helms equivalent to the AAU?

I'm not an expert, but I think #2 is a particular issue.

You do realize that you are the only person on this board who is not an expert at everything.

Demerits to the article for not mentioning that the Folger is administered by the trustees of another New England institution: Amherst College.
