Pamela-or at least the first half of it-is one of the most amusing books in the language, and it is hard to see why [Henry] Fielding or anyone else should imagine that its author did not intend it to be amusing. I seriously doubt that "most of London enjoyed a good cry" over this "tearjerker." London in 1740 was a sophisticated town, and . . .

Members also intend to share the results of their poll with the faculty to help the administration gauge student opinion. Apart from the fact that such a sketchy survey can be of little worth or even misleading, the Council's intended procedure could be detrimental. Planning to examine all the answers before passing them on to the faculty, the Council would remove any charges which seem blatantly false. To do this is to set up an undergraduate jury, passing on any professor who, erroneously or not, might be mentioned as suspect. Any value that the poll might have...
