…On the Road, the Narrator’s Thoughts Turn To Phaedrus’s Graduate School Experiences Here.

…“Phædrus arrived at the University of Chicago already in a world of thought so different from the one you or I understand, it would be difficult to relate, even if I fully remembered everything. I know that the acting chairman admitted him during the Chairman’s absence on the basis of his teaching experience and apparent ability to converse intelligently. What he actually said is lost. Afterward he waited for a number of weeks for the Chairman to return in hopes of obtaining a scholarship, but when the Chairman did appear an interview took place which consisted essentially of one question and no answer. .. The Chairman said, "What is your substantive field?" .. Phædrus said, "English composition." .. The Chairman bellowed, "That is a methodological field!" And for all practical purposes that was the end of the interview.” (U. Chicago Cont. Next)
…The ZMM Narrator also reports what he was able to find out about the history of “The Committee on Analysis of Ideas and Study of Methods“
