From Lawrence Schall:
"Mustafa began the evening welcoming the crowd in Islamic, Hebrew, and English, wishing everyone peace."

The student spoke "Islamic?" Surely Schall meant Arabic?  It is a nitpick, but still, it was the column's final surprise.

I had a friend who used to refer to Latin as "Catholic" (as in, "how do you say that in Catholic?"). I'm pretty sure s/he was kidding.

Well, it's been fixed now. 

Pretty ignorant, even for a college president.

Hmm... shouldn't there be a note indicating the change?  No need to give me credit, of course. :)
