Summary
Take careful heed, fresh Ph.D.'s, aflame for fortune's prizes:
The laurel crown is not for sale in well-assorted sizes.
Hard work alone is not enough, no matter how severe,
The lightning may descend on him who idly quaffs a beer …
Now all who love the wild surmise, the mad conjecture free,
Who do not like research in groups of more than twenty-three,
Remember still the theorem that Glaser proved again –
To hell with organization man, there's nothing like a brain!
