President of One

Never a huge B Mills fan in my four years at the Bo', I was thrilled to hear this story over the weekend...

There's some year-long fine arts series going on at the Bo' meant to coincide with the re-opening of our art museum, and as part of that series, many hotshot artsy speakers are invited onto campus.  Last week was the opening of the series and after the talk, B Mills, like the great socializing and fundraising president that he is, went up to the esteemed speaker to introduce himself.

B Mills: Hello, I'm president Barry Mills, I just wanted to thank you for coming, I really enjoyed your talk.

Speaker: President of what?

(Awkward pause)

B Mills: ... of the college.

Speaker: Oh.

(Longer awkward pause)
