But it also has a personal touch: most of us 5 as have a great many ancestors who lived in the Middle Ages. If you were your ancestor instead of being his descendant, you probably wouldn't be able to read or write. If you were one of the fortunate few who could read or write, and you were planning to study at a university, you would also be able to discourse fluently in Latin. You would look forward to wearing a cap and gown to all your lectures in the university, not merely at commencement. Your subjects would be first the trivium C grammar, logic, and rhetoricb and then the quadrivium Qarithmetic, music, geometry, and astronomyl. College preparation in the Middle Ages was cer- tainly narrower than modern high school education. We hope that your education has been broad and deep enough to fit you for college, business, or industry and for living in this present day. l3116i...il'r1-fm

Even the pigeons take advantage of our positions! I.et's face it, Bertram. Our problems really can't compare with theirs. After all, the King's administrators and advisers must oversee the entire domain, the well- being of everyone in the court is in their trust.

Besides, methinks their job's not so hard. That's not true at all, Bertram! Their job gets harder year by year. Each September they're confronted with a larger group of serfs to guide. I remember the days when the court had only twenty graduates, but look at this year's class-almost 700. The aggff
