It is probably because these schools don't have graduate programs in physics, chemistry, medicine, etc. Union may come the closest if someone wanted to pursue a Union degree in a hard science -- there are not to many in this realm so the odds would be against Union. Maybe a Union grad could pull one off in literature. A few years ago a Nova researcher in the oceanographic department won the highest award in his field. I can't remember the name but it is considered the Nobel of ocenaography. I had reported this on a.e.d. at the time it was awarded. John
Imagine the suspense at the award ceremony - will 6Dr. Hoyer's head remain attached when bowing to the King of Sweden, or will he simply lose face?
Perhaps the King of Sweden could also bring Sweden's national hockey team to the ceremony since there will likely be a face-off in the corner !
