…Perhaps This What Phaedrus’s Chicago Place of Residence Looked Like.
[At Klamath Lake, the three lane highways, the heat, and 1930’s type buildings, remind the Narrator of his feelings of Chicago during that summer => ]… “When Phædrus and his family arrived in Chicago, he took up residence near the University and, since he had no scholarship, began full-time teaching of rhetoric at the University of Illinois, which was then downtown at Navy Pier, sticking out into the lake, funky and hot. .. Classes were different from those in Montana. The top high-school students had been skimmed off to the Champaign and Urbana campuses and almost all the students he taught were a solid monotonous C. When their papers were judged in class for Quality it was hard to distinguish among them. Phædrus, in other circumstances, probably would have invented something to get around this, but now this was just bread-and-butter work for which he couldn’t spare creative energy. His interest lay to the south at the other University.“(U. Chicago. Cont. Next)
