Those teaching it would be only to happy to believe that the Guide's hosannas were voiced by the massed phalanx of student opinion. But the questionnaires returned came from less than half our students. Possibly, inclusion of the others would have given us cause for anger and/or shame. (Quite possibly, since those who slept through the course might reasonably be expected to sleep through the poll). Further, I was informed...
