Prof. Alex H. Slocum ’82 poses in his American flag do-rag. Slocum read this poem at the close of Wednesday’s faculty meeting, in honor of International Talk Like a Pirate Day and the first faculty meeting of the Reif/Kaiser administration. Slocum calls this his “super-excited positive thoughts for a new administration (and MIT) to infinity and beyond.”
