"First Day At University"

It was the first day of classes at Stern College for
Women of Yeshiva University, and I was waiting in
my classroom for students in my public speaking
course.

Because of congestion in the elevators and room
changes, several were still missing and I thought
I would talk with those present while we were
waiting.

"What have you learned so far today?" I asked.

Some students raised their hands and told what
they had learned.

A late arriving student took a seat and I asked her
the same question. "I haven't learned anything
today; this is my first class," she said.

"What time did you get up this morning?" I asked.

"Very early," she replied.

I told her that learning takes place beyond the four
walls that surrounded us and asked what she had
learned since she awakened.

She sat silently for a moment and then jumped up.

"I've just learned I'm in the wrong classroom," she
said as she made her exit.
