March 2007 College-Cram Newsletter

Spring break, NCAA tourney time, grapefruit league action... This is the time of the year when we all could use a good mental recharge. The semester's far from over, though, so unfortunately we now have to get back to work.

Still, we have a few quickie diversions for you to help you ease back into things.

I got mine, I hope you got yours too,
Professor Cram
