What I want to know is if it's really true that Carleton had an endowment to provide ice cream at meals -- that was the story I heard when I was there.
With the benefit of hindsight, something that would have been exceedingly useful to me when I was there was something that would model the experience of being in the business world. I had always thought I would hate it, and made many of my choices based on avoiding it. It turned out that it suited me much better than I had expected -- better than most of the possible careers I had planned. But how can you provide something like that just by throwing money at it?
