Nerd News: The World's Oldest Grad Student?

Bholaram Das of India celebrated his 100th birthday ... and then signed up for a PhD program at Guwahati University.  The indefatigable Mr. Das, a retired teacher, lawyer, and judge, stated that one is never too old to learn and that he had been thinking about pursuing a doctorate since his school days at Calcutta University in the 1930s.  Good luck and best wishes, sir!
