Money!

Well, they've been scurrying around since yesterday, putting up a stage, assembling scaffolding and lighting and sticking up large flat screens, as well as from the looks of it, a fairly serious sound system and a board with lots of switches and blinking lights to go with it.

Our own humble president, Peter George, is supposed to announce something big today and even though it's a secret, word on the street is that it will be the second largest donation to a university in Canadian history. Now the largest is $105 million (also to McMaster), so it sounds like it's going to be a lot. Frankly, from the amount of money they've spent setting up for this announcement, it's going to need to be at least 30 million to cover the costs. There are big tents and awnings all over campus as well as outdoor carpet being laid everywhere and exotic plants suddenly appearing at every turn.

Anyway, we'll see what all the fuss us about, in an hour or so.
