Michael BoskinMODERATOR
... and I say, "This is what today's lecture is about," and I fling them in the air, and they go, "Aah!" And I say, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket," which by the way was a copy, uh, was a title of the Yale Daily's, uh, the fol- the day after Jim Tobin won the Nobel, uh, Prize.
Michael BoskinMODERATOR
It said, "Tobin wins Nobel Prize for telling people not to put all their eggs in one basket." So in any event, what has been your experience? I mean, you do stuff more broadly visually, but in the classroom, what has been your, uh, sense of what types of things actually bring the economic principles home and get to this intersection of economics and personal finance, applying it to the things that are important to them in their lives?
Justin WolfersHOST
Um, okay.
BrittanyHOST
Paris Geller.
BrittanyHOST
All right, question eight, what position does Rory eventually hold at Yale Daily News? [upbeat music]
MeredithHOST
She's the editor.
BrittanyHOST
Yeah, she is the editor in chief.
Robby SoaveGUEST
Back then, there was just so much less attention being paid from national news outlets to things happening on college campuses.
Robby SoaveGUEST
So I found that it was – Easy, and I was able to add a good amount of value just by reading the Harvard Crimson and the Yale Daily News.
Robby SoaveGUEST
I'm a University of Michigan graduate, so I've always paid very close attention to that campus.
Robby SoaveGUEST
Should have
Marc BrackettGUEST
So just a quick story about that.
Marc BrackettGUEST
So my very first day or class I taught at Yale, um, the one of the students in my class, it was a big class of like five hundred students, and he wrote for the, the Yale Daily News, and he wrote this article, "The Feelings Master." And it was a little embarrassing, like brand new on campus.
Marc BrackettGUEST
It's like other colleagues like, "What are you gonna think of me?" And then I, I just read the article.
Marc BrackettGUEST
I thought it was a nicely written article about my course, and I, I was really, "You know what, Marc? You are the freaking feelings master." [both laughing] Like, like live into it, buddy.
Shelly KaganHOST
But maybe there's nothing in biology that rules out the possibility.
Shelly KaganHOST
Suppose we open up the Yale Daily tomorrow and we see that the Yale Center for Amoebic Studies has made this tremendous breakthrough and has discovered how to, through the right kind of injection or whatever, cause a human body to replicate and split in an amoeba-like fashion.
Shelly KaganHOST
Well, then we'd have to face the problem of what to say in this case of bodily branching.
Shelly KaganHOST
Well, instead of pursuing that example, let me give you a slightly different example that's been discussed a fair bit in the philosophical This is actually a case that one of the students in the class asked about, I think it was last week if it wasn't even earlier, and I said, great question.
Shelly KaganNARRATOR
On the other hand, suppose what happens is, this is one of those thieves like you always have in the movies where he's such a master thief or she's such a master thief that they take pride in their work and so they announce it.
Shelly KaganNARRATOR
They take out an ad in the Yale Daily News and they say, on Wednesday, April 27th, I shall steal from, I'll steal the computer from so-and-so's room.
Shelly KaganNARRATOR
And it doesn't matter what precautions you take, right? Something always happens and that person's computer gets stolen.
Shelly KaganNARRATOR
Well, again, you could be angry.
Shelly KaganHOST
I know this is true.
Shelly KaganHOST
That is, I know I have the reputation, both because I periodically in my student evaluations get told I'm one of Yale's harsher graders, harder graders, and because every now and then the Yale Daily News will have an article about grade inflation and they'll always ask me, well, you know, Professor Kagan is Once there was a story on grade inflation that Yale Daily News began by saying, as Shelly Kagan, parentheses, known at Yale as one of the hardest graders, So I know I've got at least the reputation of being a hard grader.
Shelly KaganHOST
I don't actually know whether it's deserved or not, because Yale does not publish information about what the grading averages are.
Shelly KaganHOST
At other schools I've taught at, there's been information along the lines of, well, the typical grade in an introductory course in the humanities is such and such.
David BlightHOST
For some reason I've never forgotten that.
David BlightHOST
And he whipped out the Yale and he just was enjoying the Yale Daily News.
speaker_6UNKNOWN
I didn't know there was that much to read in it for that long, most of the time.
David BlightHOST
He's just reading the Yale Daily News in front of him.
David BlightHOST
And at one point I stopped rather loudly and I said, the Dred Scott decision is not covered in today's Yale Daily News, and he didn't hear me.
David BlightHOST
So I shouted it again, and by that time the whole class was beginning to laugh uncomfortably, and he finally realized what was going on, and the poor guy crumbled up his newspaper and walked out the back and he never came back.
David BlightHOST
I felt a little badly about it, but just don't make it so obvious.
Beverly GageHOST
He's a big man around campus.
Beverly GageHOST
editor and chairman of the Yale Daily News, among other things.
Beverly GageHOST
When he graduates from Yale in 1951, he ends up publishing his very first book, God and Man at Yale, which is a critique of his experiences here and particularly his Yale professors as all a bunch of socialists.
Beverly GageHOST
Thus setting in motion a grand historical tradition of Yale students getting a pretty good education and then going off and denouncing the university.
Beverly GageHOST
I should say the quotes that I found and the reasons that we know that Reinhold Niebuhr and Martin Luther King and William F. Buckley were here in this chapel along with many other people at various moments in time.
Beverly GageHOST
is in fact that the YDN wrote that down, so all of those quotes that I was using come from the Yale Daily News coverage, so I just want to say those of you who are out there as reporters, you are the scribes of history, and I hope that the students in the 30s, 60s, and 70s got it right.
Beverly GageHOST
So we are going to be here because this is a chapel setting, as you've noticed, there are no desks.
Beverly GageHOST
And so our strong recommendation is to bring a notebook and not a laptop to try to avoid using electronics in this space, both because they're distracting to others, but also because it's just an awkward space for that.
