A REASSURING NOTE TO PARENTS/ADVISOR/RACHEL: Namely, this. Toledo, Ohio resident Don Flickinger received on Saturday an associate's degree from the University of Toledo. Not only is this naturally edifying in and of itself, it's even more interesting considering that Flickeringer has just turned 96, and began taking classes for the associate's degree in 1928. (CNN notes helpfully: "He was the school's oldest graduate.) His idea of celebrating? "At my age," Associate Flickinger noted, "celebrating means getting into bed for a good nap."

At that rate, I should finish up my D.Phil. by, say, at least...oh, 2075. Comforted, Rachel et al?
