College is a place where a professor's lecture notes go straight to the students' lecture notes, without passing through the brains of either.

A young professor I watched in action at one of our large eastern colleges used to stand with his back to the class and mumble explanations of blackboard problems.

Sometimes professors go on for years without any conception of remediable faults which irritate their listeners.

James Taranto

Why has America's fringe left been making common cause with the Taliban, whose views on such matters as women's rights and separation of church and state are appallingly retrograde by anyone's standards?
