<p>Jagged - starting with the Class of 2012, Pratt will no longer be allowing transfers to Trinity. Students planning to leave engineering will instead be required to go to Dean Constance Simmons' office, knock, and then announce "I Quit." Once this is done, they will be marched to the front porch of the Teer Engineering Library where they will ring the newly installed "Dr. Kristina M. Johnson Bell" three times and drop their TI 89 calculator in a collection bucket to mark their failure as an engineer, after which they are welcome to apply to any other school in the country.</p>
<p>Are you being serious? That sounds awfully MIT-ish (which to me is a bad thing).</p>
<p>Yes that is completely serious. (?!?!?!)</p>
<p>Ahhhh, Dr. G, that is great!</p>
<p>If only they still used a slide rule, so it could be broken across the dean's knee!</p>
<p>I don't even have an 89! Just a ten year old 83 that I still use. Good thing I don't want to switch out of Pratt. (after two and a half years of Engineering that would be a rather silly move)</p>
<p>There was a short lived TV show called "Branded" from the sometime in the 60's:</p>
<p>"Each episode began with McCord being dishonorably discharged from the service, his stripes and brass buttons removed and his sword broken in two, as an offscreen chorus sang a ballad, composed by Dominic Frontiere of Star Trek fame with lyrics by Alan Alch, explaining that McCord had been accused of cowardice and deserting his post under fire."

<p>A fitting model for the ceremony described, above.</p>
