Quote of the week - mannerly children


Dear Colleagues,

As many of you know, I prepare and serve a number of 'Faculty
Resident's Dinners' for students on Sunday evenings during the
academic year. Anderson Hall's first floor 'Style Lounge' is the
venue. I know that neither the day nor the time - 8 PM - are ideal for
those of you with children, but faculty, partners and mannerly
children are most welcome.

I appreciate the sentiment -- understanding that faculty with children are unable to attend events on Sunday evenings -- but how do you define "mannerly" children?

That is a botched invitation if I ever heard one. A very half-hearted attempt to be inclusive.
