Nobel Laureate Graduated Last In His Class

Masatoshi Koshi­ba, who just won 25% of this year’s Nobel Prize in physics (I did­n’t even know you could be a 25% win­ner), grad­u­at­ed last in his class at Tokyo Uni­ver­si­ty over 50 years ago.

He only made two A’s in his last two years of col­lege, both of which were in lab class­es where the grade was based on atten­dance.

Hmmm.… makes you think, does­n’t it?

Evi­dent­ly he took the Teacher’s words to heart: “Of mak­ing many books there is no end, and much study wea­ries the body.” (Ecc 12.12b, NIV)
