Who are you calling obscure?

Gregg Easterbrook comments on the Ursinus-Gettysburg football game:

Bonus Obscure College Score: Ursinus 55, Gettysburg 50. There were 15 touchdowns and a field goal, 64 first downs, 1,317 yards of offense and one punt in this scoreboard-spinning contest. (Four turnovers and two missed tries were the undoing of the Gettysburg Bullets.) Located in Collegeville, Pa., Ursinus requires freshmen to spend their year in this pursuit: "read, discuss, write and reflect on the great questions of human existence, like love, friendship, happiness, life, death, God and nature." OK, that should say "such as." The point is, many colleges do not require students to reflect on these matters!
