In this veiled and quite possibly diabolic climax, Barth offers one glint of hope. Goat-Boy leaves behind his son Giles-whose mother was a coed who took too literally the injunction to "love her classmate as herself"-to carry on the Goat-Boy religion and bring the New Curriculum to every campus in the university...
