Even the tales of Sinbad are over- shadowed when Dean Barbour tells of his experiences in the Far East. This is typical of the informal gath- erings of students and professors that have replaced, along with the birch rod, the cold stiff relationship between the two. Above the din of the newest disk on the nickelodion and the cry of Special No. 2 and a coke a few hundred people struggle to knit, study, play bridge, and eat. A course in grillology is included in every student ' s curriculum. Surrounded by the art of a fallen Empire the twentieth century youth pauses in its mad ten minute rush between classes to hear the latest and quickly smoke a cigarette. Last minute cramming is neatly accom- plished on the worn, marble steps.
