Note To Dim College Administrators: A "House Of Cards" Isn't The Best Association
Presumably, a student considering Johns Hopkins is going to be literate and used to communicating and getting information in, you know, words printed on a page.

Presumably.

But a regular commenter here sent a photo of a packet his daughter got from Johns Hopkins -- as he put it, "a set of slotted cards you can shuffle, flip around, and assemble into little houses."

He added, "I'm not sure what Johns Hopkins was going for with this ad, and my daughter was unimpressed, even if neither of us brought up the obvious point of an expensive school setting its potential students up with a house of cards."

Why not just make it a motto? "Johns Hopkins: A shaky foundation on which to build the rest of your life!"
