早上,在Robbie吃早飯的時候,Grandpa 和Philip唱著密歇根大學的校歌走了進來。他們告訴Robbie該校到紐約考查新生人選的招生主任Charley Rafer是Philip的同學,而且Charley已經同意為Robbie安排面試。
Grandpa & Philip:“Hail to the victors valiant,Hail to the conquering heroes,Hail, Hail to Michigan,the champions of the West!”
Philip: Ah, good morning, Robbie. Robbie: Good morning, Dad. Grandpa: How's my grandson?
Robbie: Fine, Grandpa. Fine! What's all the cheering about? Did the University of Michigan win another football game?
Grandpa: Better than that. Tell him, Philip. Philip: I just spoke with Charley Rafer. Robbie: Who's Charley Rafer?
Philip: He's the Dean of Admissions for the University of Michigan. Grandpa: And it turns out he's a classmate of Philip's. Philip: We were both on the tennis team. Robbie: Great!
Philip: It is great. He's going to be in New York tomorrow to interview applicants for admission. Grandpa: And he's agreed to fit you into his schedule.
