Curtis in New Haven?

The New York Times reports today on the Yale School of Music decision to end tuition charges following a single enormous financial gift. Acting dean Thomas Duffy, quoted in the article, seems rather stunned: "These alums generally don't go out and become captains of industry, nor do they become rock stars." No, we sure don't. For anyone hoping to get a piece of Yale's good fortune, though, applications are due December 15th.
