...reasons why this conclusion was reached have never been brought out, although Washington University officials have asked time and again for an explanation.

Breathing the name of his ladylove, Dulcinea del Toboso (in real life a husky farm girl named Aldonza Lorenzo that he has never said two words to), Don Quixote sets out in quest of adventures...
