At 18, when he was about to be shipped off to the trenches, he presented himself as a customer, and the sentimental, motherly prostitutes packed him off to the front a virgin.

With the seminar method of instruction used in almost all courses, it is not easy for the student to "goof off" for any length of time. The majority of Bardians, moreover, do not concentrate in the creative arts--dance, drama, art, or music--but rather in the social sciences...
