Back in the day, unixes included the class year, so if you had the same initials as one (or two, or three) other people in your class, you were stuck with an ungainly underscore.

Trivia

  • Jonathan Landsman '05 spared Joanna L. Lloyd '05 from an _2 fate by never telling Williams his full legal name. He got 05jl, she 05jll, and the two were able to become friends -- if always with some mutual wariness.
