When I first started college, the Dean
came in and said "Good Morning" to all of us. When we
echoed back to him, he responded "Ah, you're Freshmen."
He explained. "When you walk in and say good morning, and
they say good morning back, it's Freshmen. When they put their
newspapers down and open their books, it's Sophomores. When they
look up so they can see the instructor over the tops of the newspapers,
it's juniors. When they put their feet up on the desks and keep
reading, it's seniors. Finally, when you walk in and say good
morning, and they write it down, it's graduate students."
