Besides Peter Rono and Jim "Bowtie" Phelan, there aren't too many people who've brought national attention to lil' old Mount Saint' Mary's College (er, University).
That may change after Professor Scott Weiss takes on Jeopardy.
Weiss, who taught the only math class I ever had to take at the Mount (and also guided Mark through a semester of computer science), is currently kicking major arse on the show. I think he's only missed, like, three questions (answers?) in the past two nights. Not only that, he's also a serious crossword puzzler--we actually first noticed him among the loonies featured in the documentary, WordPlay.
Who knows how he ended up at the Mount, but given his obvious genius-level brainpower, I hope he's move on from teaching hungover, sleepy students the "Chinese Postman Problem." (Yes, that is what we focused on in his class. Five bucks to anyone who can tell me what that is!)
