8. Obama up

Thank you MIT! Said it was the most prestigious school in Cambridge MIT ... or at least this part of Cambridge. He then said he would be there for a long time, because MIT students put his limosines up on building 10. Then he joked that at MIT they pass out periodic tables.

He welcomed the people mentioned before and Lt Gov Murray, Croakly and others. Then he said very nice things about JK. Welcomed Capauno.

9. Takes a Harvard man to know his MIT hacks

http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/life/hacks_traditions/

On the final day of classes in May 1994, the city of Boston awoke to see an MIT Campus Police cruiser on top of the Great Dome. The car came complete with flashing lights and a cruiser number, π.

In actuality, the police car was the shell of a Chevrolet Cavalier attached to a multi-piece wooden frame, all carefully assembled on the roof over the course of one night. Perhaps as a nod to the very limited parking around campus, the car had been issued a parking violation reading "no permit for this location."

The police car hack received television and newspaper coverage around the world, as far away as Korea and Israel.
