Selling Tickets

When it comes to college students, expect creativity and ingenuity.

It seems that Harvard University had a bit of a problem this year with students selling tickets to the free commencement ceremonies:

Although I do not condone the scalping of tickets, it is an interesting story. Let's recap:

1. Ivy League college graduates from the top business school in the country
2. High-Profile Commencement Speakers
3. Too Many People and Not Enough Tickets

Sounds like a situation ripe for entrepeneurship. One has to wonder: What exactly did the administration expect?

With all the nonsense taught at Harvard, I am glad that capitalism seems to come naturally.

Sounds to me like they were doing exactly what they had paid a fortune being educated to do.
