I'm sitting in Sanders right now as my English prof this semester, Matthew Kaiser, puts up pictures of animals. He just put up a picture of his kitten: "I just had to give a shout out to my kitten"
He is fabulous. Unfortunately I don't think he was granted tenure so he might be leaving next year. While Google stalking him just now I came across an interview my friend conducted with him earlier in the year. Here are the highlights.
7.
FM: Complete this sentence: Sex at Harvard...
MK: (Laughs) That’s one sentence that is left incomplete.
8.
FM: Word on the street is that you are a pretty snappy dresser.
Say you’re having a one-on-one meeting with President Drew G. Faust.
What would you wear?
MK: I would wear a dark blue suit, a vibrant tie and French cuffs.
9.
FM: And what would you say?
MK: I wouldn’t say anything, because what she’s experiencing
right now is more profound and compelling than what I’m experiencing. I
would sit and listen to what she had to tell me, and then I’d ask for a
raise.
10.
FM: Now say you’re having a one-on-one meeting with Oscar
Wilde. You know, theoretically. Would you be wearing the same ensemble?
MK: I would probably wear a slightly tighter version.
11.
FM: And what would you say?
MK: Again, Oscar Wilde was such an amazing speaker. I think I would just listen to him. I wouldn’t ask him for a raise, though.
