“I don鈥檛 know if I鈥檒l get in at Stanford,鈥� one premed said to me after he had sent in his application. 鈥淥r anywhere else,鈥� he added.
Another mentioned a different school, but the students鈥� worries were essentially the same. I seldom got involved in what I called freaking out, but this kind of talk happened often, especially during our senior year.
One time when this freaking out was going on and I didn鈥檛 enter in, one of my friends turned to me, 鈥淐arson, aren鈥檛 you worried?鈥�
鈥淣o,鈥� I said. 鈥淚鈥檓 going to the University of Michigan Medical School.鈥�
鈥淗ow can you be so sure?鈥�
鈥淚t鈥檚 real simple. My father owns the university.鈥�
鈥淒id you hear that?鈥� he yelled at one of the others. 鈥淐arson鈥檚 old man owns the University of Michigan.鈥� Several students were impressed. And understandably because they came from extremely wealthy homes. Their parents owned great industries. Actually, I had been teasing, and maybe it wasn鈥檛 playing fair. As a Chrisitan, I believe that God鈥� my Heavenly Father鈥� not only created the universe, but He controls it. And, by extension, God owns the University of Michigan and everything else.
I never did explain.”
