Harvard Teaches Ph.D. Students Where They Should Pee

Many people are rightly concerned about the level of socialization attained by incoming Ph.D. students, but Harvard might have gone overboard spelling things out for their newest academic cavepeople. And the word the university is spelling? "P-E-E." The crack reporters at IvyGate have uncovered the special pamphlet that Harvard gives its new graduate students called "Bathroom Etiquette." As IvyGate writes, "The information covered is simple enough, but some of it is shocking when you realize people had to do this stuff a lot to earn it a spot in the pamphlet. Organized into what is inappropriate and appropriate to do in the shower, toilets, and sinks, the concerned student learns how to govern himself in the mystical chamber of secrets found down the hall."
