Honorary degree from the University of Edinburgh
Scope and Contents
Richard Zare receiving an honorary degree from the University of Edinburgh on the
occasion of their 50th anniversary of establishing a chemical physics graduate
program.
From Zare:
"I was asked to prepare a very brief address to the graduates, one not to exceed two
minutes. I found this challenging but did offer them just two words of advice: "Don't
go!" I thought that this would provoke laughter from the audience but to my surprise
it was greeted only by silence. Later on, I was told by others and by others who told
others that these two words are all that were remembered from the long graduation
ceremonies."
