I think it was generally conceded that Aero was the toughest major at RPI. Some of the biggest weed-out courses came during senior year. I knew quite a few people whose pictures in the yearbook say "Aero" but graduated "Mech". I think Aero had the largest number of required credit hours to graduate also. It is an accomplishment to graduate in a technical discipline, and those gentlemen who were accomplished on the ice as well really epitomize the concept of Student/Athlete. I don't want to start any war over who went to a better school, but I do want to point out that, in the money sports, this concept is slowly dying out, and the NC-- pays lip service to it at best. /matt P.S. ...and for Brian - Those of us who were fans in '86 remember you well. I wonder how many other RPI hockey alums are going to stumble on to this list... -- Matthew W Jonson [log in to unmask] None of this has to do with any opinion of the Government.
