_ Recipe For Instant Scholarship

~_ Requires Recondite Annotations

: by Pauline Dubkin
After Robert Benchley, after a
fashion _
(Which* means that I- borrowed
parts of this. idea from Robert Ben-
chley, but didn’t T. S. Eliot say that
“Immature poets imitate, mature
poets steal?” And I do consider my---

““ self a poet).

We hear a lot about scholarship
around here, but how many know
just’ what scholarship really is, or
how to achieve it? =.

Fortunately, I have now ‘devised
a formula for instant scholarship.
It ‘reads “the more voluminous and

the more recondite the annotations, ©

the greater the amount of scholar-
ship.” It is foolproof.

Say you have to write a paper on.
“The Wasteland,” since we've. al-
_Teady “mentioned ~ Hliot:**rhis poenr

’* §n_its entirety obviously does not

lend itself to. scholarly. interpreta-
tion; which is ‘always intensive, not
extensive. So you only take a
small gection of the poem. In fact,
you can take only one sentence. In
that case, your paper will consist of
one sentence and 15 pages of foot-
notes. Here 2 ig an example, of the
technique:

April! ‘is2 ‘thes nee month.s
‘April, Corruption of
By “using this word--in-the~-opening
sentence of his poem, Eliot parodies
Chaucer, who did the same, and sug-
gests that the characters of “Fhe
Wasteland” are also “embarking on
a pilgrimage. It is interesting to

‘note that “April” is the first word

of the sentence and “month” is the
last, April being a month. Thus the
beginning and the end of the sen-
tence are correlates but not identi-
cal, as is the case in line {20, ‘““Noth-
ing again. nothing.”

is borrowed-from-the-field-of logic,

own “Murder in the Cathedral.” Most
commentators on the poem think it
“should” be~ pronounced” “thuh;” ~ al=

lative here makes it clear that Eliot

rectly, he would have said the better

8 Month. i.e,, 30. days, if Eliot

-were indeed referring to April: Had
he been referring to February, for
instance, “month” would have equal-
led “28 days.” (Except in leap
years). Since “month” is related
to’ “moon” ‘and “moon” (“lune”) to

sentence a tone of madness, quite in
‘keeping with the use of the word

Remarkable East House Leprechauns :

‘Decline To, Emulate,,Student Exodus

by Diana Koin, ’65

—An epitaph to East House —
As most of us know, East House

will: be torn: down in the coming

months to make way for Erdman
dorm. The last Freshmen were
moved out last week.

Once upon..a time about a, block
down the hill from the campus stood
a homely white house which opened
its doors to a different group of
girls every single year. This wonder-_
ful palace was called East House,
Although its doors are now locked
forever, the girls who lived there
will never forget it.

An old. gentleman -named Mr.

Miserable helped watch over . the

girls, making sure. they were all
safely inside by dawn. Mr. Miser-
able told. the girls that the trees

aveund..the house..were, inhabited by ™

leprechauns; perhaps it. was their
magic that helped make East House
a very.-special: place. so z

The wonders within its walls were
incredible to behold. Most beloved

‘of all was an antique- refrigerator,

truly marvelous in its abilities, and

especially prized because. of its uni-

queness. The’ girls also loved the
windows on the second floor because
they led to the roof, an enchanted
place. in the spring. The plumbing,
heating and electricity were ‘also

‘fairly incredible due to their mode

of operation, or, as the case usually

‘was, their lack of operation.

The girls who lived in East House:
weren’t really any. different from

the girls who lived a block up the .

hill, but nevertheless,they had cer-’
tain distinctive traits.. For instance,
most of them were not extraordin-
