Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

Bob Daniels

Santa Barbara — a young man appears
As cosmic intelligence cheers

Fulfillment of wishes —
He’s Washer of Dishes —

Launching the best of careers

Dr. Keith Wallace then spots him
And promptly de-pans and de-pots him

As soon as he’s noted him
He’s swiftly promoted him —

And check out the place where he slots him:

Financial Aid Office — director
That was a weird career vector

From arms deep in suds
To shirt-and-tie duds —

Mother Nature had fed him some nectar

Fast forward — Bob spots an ad
An opportunity is there to be had . . .

In chimney supplies —
Bob Daniels applies —

And also signs up as a dad

A Tulsa garage was the start
His capital: brains, drive, and heart

And nature support
By every report

And what a great course he would chart

Enter the great Sooty Bob —
Chimney sweeps’ hearts are a-throb

Whatever they desire
In the field of fire

Bob’s got the tools for the job

From the moment of its debut
Copperfield grew — and it grew

Bob Daniels’ creation
Is the biggest in the nation —

There’s nothing Bob Daniels can’t do

Bob Daniels truly can say
He’s been powered by Agni Mile

Higher and higher
In a field built on fire

As Copperfield carries the day

He’s also our trusted Trustee
One half of “the Bobs,” as we see

A genius financial —
A guide most substantial —

No school’s as fortunate as we

What financial acumen he brings
He looks at a spreadsheet — it sings

A finance untangler
Light-shining star-spangler —

And so many other good things

The School has once again scored —
Bob is now back on the board

In the seat of the Chair
And leading from there —

A sign our good fortune has soared

With Susan, Genevra, and Ben
And Chetana — we say amen

A family so fine —
We see how they shine —

Bob is our man among men

To Mr. Bob Daniels we say:
We love your great play and display

You’re the man we admire
You truly inspire —

We wish you a great day today
