They were there to hear Muhammad Yunis, who won the peace prize in 2006 for his work with Grameen Bank, and his major message was not to follow the rules just because they are rules, but only if they are good.
"Teachers say go to class, get good grades so you can get a good college, get a degree so you can get a good job, so you can work for a corporation, so you can make a lot of money for the person who owns the company. That's it. Nothing else. Is that all life is for? I said no. It is not to make money. It is to help people," he said to raucous applause.
