CRAIG CONLEY (Prof. Oddfellow) is recognized by Encarta as “America’s most creative and diligent scholar of letters, words and punctuation.” He has been called a “language fanatic” by Page Six gossip columnist Cindy Adams, a “cult hero” by Publisher’s Weekly, a “monk for the modern age” by George Parker, and “a true Renaissance man of the modern era, diving headfirst into comprehensive, open-minded study of realms obscured or merely obscure” by Clint Marsh. An eccentric scholar, Conley’s ideas are often decades ahead of their time. He invented the concept of the “virtual pet” in 1980, fifteen years before the debut of the popular “Tamagotchi” in Japan. His virtual pet, actually a rare flower, still thrives and has reached an incomprehensible size. Conley’s website is OneLetterWords.com.
Photos like this (and most every yearbook has one) are like living installations of modern art. Heck, anything that gives the least bit of life to modern art is possibly better than modern art as it otherwise is. From Earlham's 1959 yearbook.
If your eye immediately went to the guy wearing his eyeglasses upside down, you most likely have a somewhat kooky nature and are fun to be around. From Earlham's 1959 yearbook.

They sure are all penguins in National-Louis' 1961 yearbook.
