Some members of the Algonquin Round Table visited Centre recently. They took over a Cowan table. I eavesdropped and wrote down some things they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Edna Ferber: \u201cBeing a business major is like death by drowning, a really delightful sensation after you cease to study.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dorothy Parker:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI like to have a White Claw,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two at the very most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After three I’m under the table,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After four I’m running the Flame.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Franklin P. Adams: \u201cThe trouble with Northside is that there are too many residents who believe, with a conviction based on experience, that all of the fire alarms are false alarms all of the time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dorothy Parker: \u201cYou can play Chappell Roan at the frats, but you can\u2019t make them twinks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Robert E. Sherwood: \u201cNobody expects him to be normal\u2014he\u2019s a Cento writer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexander Woollcott: \u201cAll the things I really like to do are either immoral, illegal, or outside of Danville.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Franklin P. Adams: \u201cTo err is human; to forgive, infrequent; to follow you around at Centre, a given.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heywood Braun: \u201cYikYak is as likely to be wrong as anybody else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexander Woollcott: \u201cA Beta party is one where there is no place to go where you shouldn\u2019t go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Robert Benchley: \u201cThere are two kinds of people in the world, those who know how to drive golf carts, and DPS.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
George S. Kaufman: \u201cI didn\u2019t like the class, but then I took it under adverse conditions\u2014it was at 8 am.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dorothy Parker: \u201cI hate Moodle; It cuts in on my social life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
