Why do you physicists need so much money for all that equipment? Why can’t you be like the mathematicians who only need money for pens, paper, and a waste paper basket? The philosophers are even better – they only need the pens and paper.
From this comment by 'a physicist' (that's how the commenter identified himself/herself) on this post by Kieran Healy about the correlation between "the size of a University’s endowment and the reputation of its philosophy department". The correlation is surprisingly good, but only for private universities.
