Abstract
I have known and admired Dexter since the time long ago when Juris Hartmanis was chairman of his PhD committee and I was a member. Shortly after he came back to Cornell as a professor an occasion arose when he thought to ask why I had not attended his qualifying exam. I told him that Juris had to because he was chair, but that I avoided exams that were superfluous. I am not much on “rites of passage”.
