To brighten up this, the first real day of school now that both vacation and inauguration fun are officially over, Bwog will again be posting any noteworthy opening comments your new professors make today.

So please email any inspiring/hilarious/insane things your professors say to introduce a class to bwgossip@columbia.edu so that everyone will be as excited and terrified as you are. Particularly special inauguration/Obama related comments are also welcome.

Here are some of the highlights of opening and closing remarks from last semester, and the best of yesterday�s professor rhetoric. We beg you to email us if your professor curses more than the infamous Richard Bulliet.
