At the Jurisprudence seminar today

* Prof. Gardner: " Tony sends his apologies. In his 60th year of teaching, he has forgotten when term actually begins so he is currently in Freiburg. But he will be here next week!"

* Prof. Gardner, some time later: " Some critics reproach Rawls, who is a very lovely fellow by the way..."

* Conversation between myself and the Porter at All Souls's College:

Me: Hi! I have a seminar in..er..the Wharton Room?
Porter: Go straight, turn right, past the Big Quad and in the second tower.

Pray tell, kind sir, which of these towers is the second one??

  1. Je suis pas sure de comprendre comment ça fonctionne dans ta superbe université: t'as des cours dans n'importe quel College?

  2. En fait, les cours sont donnés par la faculté et c'est aux profs de s'arranger avec la faculté (et les collèges à leur disposition, puisqu'ils sont tous des Fellows d'au moins un college) pour l'emplacement des cours.
