That's why the professor forged his recommendation to Harvard and Harvard fraudulently let him in?

I have a 78 year old friend who gets stomach troubles because he doesn't remember he just ate 14 Spanish olives so he doesn't it until he's on his knees in pain. There are a lot of things that can affect memory and I'm also wondering if Graff is looking to shine a bit because the light feels good.

Every student? No. Every significant American politician that ever studied at Columbia during those 46 years. Sure. There weren't really that many. There are other prestigious colleges and universities from which many other significant American politicians earned their degrees.

Columbia isn't that large. Less than 8,000 undergrads. Purdue and UW-Wisconsin, for example, have about 40,000 undergrads. And yes, their professors remember students who've achieved significant accomplishments over the years. For example, many Astronauts were educated at Purdue. The prominent professors in their fields of study remember them.

Based on what? Katiana can post up her credentials and accomplishments anytime she likes. We'll compare them to Columbia Professor Henry Graff's credentials and accomplishments. Deal?

You asked why someone would lie on a college recommendation. I asked why Obama would lie about not having proof that Obama Sr. was his father in his book.
Why DO people lie?

InformedConsent, you never know when someone is 22 how they will turn out many years later. You have no idea then that they may be significant 20-30 years in the future in anything. None. Meanwhile, new students are in your classes. Several hundred (maybe thousands) more over those 20-30 years.
Someone who sits quietly in the back of the classroom, takes notes, never takes part in discussions, shows up for exams isn't likely to be remembered. And why should they be?

why exactly does it matter how many years graff taught at columbia? do only people with 46 years of employment have memories from 1983?
