卒研生の牧野君が大学院入試に無事合格しました。おめでとうございます！意味ありげに持った二冊の教科書を持った写真を送ってきたその心は、量子力学と統計力学に基づいた物性物理を極めてやろうという意気込みの現れでしょうか？博士課程進学も視野に入れているという牧野君の今後の活躍に期待です。

Makino-kun, the 4th-year undergraduate student in our group, has successfully passed the graduate school entrance examination. Congratulations! The picture above is the one he sent me for this news article. By showing the picture with books of quantum mechanics and statistical physics, he probably wants to show us his enthusiasm for condensed matter physics researh. He is also considering going on to a doctoral course after his master. We expect your great success in your graduate research! Congratulations!
