HILARIOUS email from a Columbia MFA program prof

From Gawker.com:

"Janette Turner Hospital is the author of Orpheus Lost and other books, and a professor at Columbia. She sent MFA students at her old school, the University of South Carolina, the following note about their inferiority. It is amazing."

From: "HOSPITAL, JANETTE

I think this is my favourite part:

"Also, the program hosts a reception for all graduating students with about 30 major editors and agents invited. At his reception, each agent or editor is presented with an anthology of the work of the graduating students, along with contact emails. No wonder the students are off to a flying start. Agents and editors hover like major-league recruiters at college championships."

I have to admit to laughing all throughout, though. What bit did you think most priceless?
