Part 47 (2/2)

I remember one well-known bachelor of arts who answered to the naar little , with a cigar in his an:

”My, what a snap! A couple of hours' work a day and three solidearly in the ht to come up to the city! Humph! I'd show you what real workuntil two o'clock the night before, so that he had not yet made preparation for his next hour It was so early indeed that I had not yet made the beds Besides, I had heard all about our snap before and it was getting onyou work,” I put in when the dear classmate finished; ”but unfortunately he cannot spare the tiivingof our married life! Now isn't that just like a husband?

Of course it can be proved by the annual catalogue that the average member of the Faculty has only about twelve or fourteen hours of classroohest-paid professor less What a university teacher gives to his students in the classroo of what he acquires outside, as when uished father tried one of his well-prepared cases in court Every new class, moreover, is a different proposition, as I once heard my brother say of his custo comes in and where Carl excelled He could make even the ”dis, as was proved by the large numbers of men who elected his courses, despite the fact that he made theinal research and the writing of books like Carl's scholarly work on The History of Property, on which he had been slaving for three solid su ters constantly, and the furnace evenbeds, is not ue I suppose such details would not beconity

As in every other occupation, some members of the Faculty do as little work as the law requires; but h they may, when it suits their schedule better, take exercise in thestate of affairs that always scandalizes the so-called tired businessso little of him except ata bride I felt sure he did not love ht to devote sowhen I ashi+ng the dishes and he was starting off for the university library to write on his great book--It was the indirect wo: ”Oh, please devote just a little ht to rest and be fresh for your classroo a man he did not see it

”The way to advance in the teaching profession,” he answered, with his veiled twinkle, ”is to neglect it It doesn'tas you write dull books for other professors to read

That's why it is called scholarshi+p--because you slight your scholars”

”Oh, I'm sick of all this talk about scholarshi+p!” I cried ”What does it mean anyway?”

”Scholarshi+p,out all there is to know about so it in such a way that nobody else can find out If you are understood you are popular; if you are popular you are no scholar And if you're no scholar, how can you become a full professor? Now,ht kiss, he brushed his last year's hat and hurried off, taking the latchkey

So nity co his laer and thus neglecting his lawn tennis; for, like a Freshe custo called p'fessor by the trades a doctor's hood for acade a new hat for the rest of the year Great thing--dignity!”

He chuckled and began to cut the grass furiously, rehbred hunter I once saw harnessed to a plow

”P'fessors of pugilisnity than we have They merely have rocer in this toho doesn't doff his hat to me when he whizzes by in his reat to have dignity I don't believe there's another place in the world where he who ridesas high wages as a trustee's chauffeur! A salary is so es”

He stopped to nified

”And yet,” he added, egged on by hter, for I always loved his quiet irony--it was never directed at individuals, but at the ideas and traditions they blandly and blindly followed--

”And yet carping critics of the greatest nation on earth try to nized in the States

Pessialleries, filled with old masters from abroad! Think how that helps As es An professor gets higher pay--bah! There are better things than ain, with nified strut as on that o when I came and saw and was conquered by it--only then he wore black silk sleeves and nohite shi+rtsleeves

And so nity

I soon saw that if I were to be a help and not a hindrance to the man I loved I should have to depart froard as woht of leaving home or husband It is si the house--seventy-five per cent of it social scientists say, has gone already--so that nowadays a wife o out after it or else find some new-fashi+oned productive substitute if she really intends to be an old-fashi+oned helpmate to her husband

It was not a feminist theory but a financial condition that confronted us My done-over trousseau would not last forever, nor would Carl's present intellectual wardrobe, which was becon study are just as necessary for an A is for an Aht of e tooh to be ladies, though we are required to dress and act like the to stop being a lady, what could one do?
