Also, today I met a Deep Springs transfer student, Michael, the only one from our year. Over Vietnamese pho and fried bananas (oh so good!) we talked about Jacob. There were other people with us, but they listened as we talked about Jacob and more Jacob. By the end of the nearly-two-hour rant, we gained a few converts to the cult. One of them, convinced that Jacob Eigen was God, "discarded all tendendies towards agnosticism."

And best of all, there's a highly likely possibility that Jacob might come visit Michael here at Yale.
Take that, Harvardians.
