That's not so far off from how Olin College was created, except with 5x as much money.

American universities, 30 years ago or otherwise, do not actually have the sort of gun culture that Olin is describing.

The biggest thing I came away with is that Olin Shivers knew a ton about gun culture in 1987.

Also, Olin College isn't even mediocre, just small.

If you're interested on a radical new take on engineering education, take a look at Olin College of Engineering.

I realized that the reason why cheating didn't make sense at Olin was because everything I could have wanted to do to score higher was already allowed.

Tired of that system, I went on to attend Olin College of Engineering [0] in the US, the complete opposite end of the spectrum.

The last time I noticed Matt Might's name, it was as a grad student advisee to Olin Shivers-- last surviving keeper of the CPS flame!-- writing a hairy dissertation on control-flow analysis in higher-order programs.

Re: Olin College, I don't often hear it as often as Stanford probably because of the relative size of the marketing budget, but the software engineers who come out of Olin College are probably not paid so significantly less that a 30-40% reduction in rent wouldn't compensate.

It's not perfect, but it's a move in the right direction -- Olin has traded strict competition for teamwork, tests and exams for project-based learning, and has gone a long way towards removing the stress associated with many other engineering schools.

If, by contrast, you spend three hours reading 50 000 words (say, a few chapters of a Murakami book), or a quarter of Olin Shivers’s dissertation, you will probably acquire some new ideas that will stay with you for the rest of your life.

Not a student, myself included, ever "cheated" at Olin, even though I had developed a habit of taking whatever means necessary to score higher on exams.

She probably creates lectures as well as white papers, since she's a professor of Materials Science at Olin.

I'd suggest trying for somewhere in the same area with the possibility of even taking a class at Olin.

Olin is bit heavy on entrepreneurial ventures though.
