...James Joyce had lived 20 years longer he would have produced as his chef d'oeuvre, Courses of Instruction for Harvard and Radcliffe. Such a rich vision of reality, so wide a breadth of knowledge, such stark symbolism is indeed beyond the reach of any contemporary writer.

With such impressive auspices, New College persuaded Historian Arnold Toynbee to be visiting professor this winter.
