...himself realizes its superiority to any E., however A. His illustration includes one of the key "Wake Up the Grader" phrases--"It is absurd." What force! What gall! What fun! "Ridiculous," "hopeless," "nonsense," on the one hand; "doubtless," "obvious," "unquestionable" on the other, will have the same effect. A hint of nostalgic, anti-academic languor at this stage as well may well match the grader's own mood. "It seems more than obvious to one entangled in the petty quibbles of contemporary Medievalists--at times, indeed, approaching the ludicrous--that, smile as we may at its follies, or denounce...

...students adjust to their college experience. But the Razo case suggests that the system has shown itself once again to be inadequate and in-sufficient for guiding students through one of their most extraordinary and traumatic times of their lives. Not one person here seems to have had any hint that Razo had any trouble adjusting to Harvard, that he might have been stealing on his vacations, or that he might have hated his life in Cambridge. But maybe College administrators can be happy with their system's performance maintaining as they do, that counseling is available for all those...
