...brilliant Oxford-trained historian, Goldwin Smith went to the U.S. in 1868 to teach at Cornell, later moved to Canada where he edited the Canadian Monthly. Despite the unpopularity of such views in Canada, he always argued that the ultimate union of the U.S. and the Dominion, and the breaking of Canadian ties with Britain, were economically inevitable...
...College, Cambridge. Her day begins when a gyp (servant) brings a cup of tea at 6 a.m. Three times a week Dr. Cam cycles to a lecture hall, her steel-grey hair and black academic gown billowing in the breeze. She has been to the U.S. only once, to teach at Pennsylvania's Bryn Mawr, and that was 39 years ago.

"It was a whirlwind romance," said the bride-to-be, who described the balding chairman of the Senate Banking and Currency Committee as "a very romantic person." Mrs. Rabenhorst, who dabbles in poetry, let the press have some...
...taken as a sacred model for this university. It might be unwise to separate creative writing from the study of literature to the extent of allowing students to write a novel as a doctoral thesis. Rather, creative writing should be a unit within the English Department, with a teaching staff chosen for their ability to teach students writing. The close and healthy relationship between writing and reading should still be preserved in the department, and with it should exist an awareness on the part of the administration that the University is fulfilling an obligation and not doing a favor...
