But, then again, I graduated in 1966.

We had French, Spanish, and Latin. You could tell who might go into medicine. They took Latin.

I am horrible at foreign language. And I tried three of them: French, Spanish, and Russian, the latter two at university. Nevertheless, I graduated with honors in physics. I am much better at mathematics, I guess.

Nevertheless, this school's policy is utter madness.
