necessary modules are now "all.rkt"s; "shard.rkt"s turn to "resources.rkt". Also, "navbar.rkt" changes to "all.rkt", since it was doing the same thing (in addition to setting the navbar).

Dear Prospective Graduate Student,
|
|
@|br br|
|
|
Thank you for your interest in working with PLT. We get several
|
|
inquiries every year from students interested in working with one or more
|
|
of us. We're flattered and, of course, interested in your applications.
|
|
Because you are more interested in PLT than in our specific institutions,
|
|
we have created the following common application form. By filling it in
|
|
once, you can automatically apply to all current PLT institutions.
|
|
@~ @|style: (box-style 1 "#bbb")|@;
|
|
Yes, we know you don't like @place-names (circle those applicable). But
|
|
we like them, or we wouldn't be living there. Think about the message
|
|
you're sending by rejecting our choices. Moreover, we think very highly
|
|
of our colleagues—more highly than we think of your judgment in this
|
|
matter—so for your own good, we're going to forward your application to
|
|
them anyway.

@~ What problems did you find with the PLT Scheme Web server in the

process? Please list bug report numbers.

@~ Which wheels did you inadvertently reinvent?

@~ In your opinion, which Barendregt proof has the highest hours spent

understanding-to-symbols ratio?

@~ Which is your favorite combinator?

@p{Seriously, we @em{do} enjoy working with graduate students. If you are

inspired by the PLT project and want to drive the next generation of

innovation, you should strongly consider graduate study with us. We

look forward to hearing from you. All of us, no matter where we may
