But my best recollection is, the professor himself did not recall the quotation. In fact, I'm embarrassed to admit I am having trouble remembering his name, but I think it was Mr. Shaw. It would not be too difficult for me to dig it up, if someone wants to know for sure. He was a full professor, even though he only had a 5-year Bachelor's degree. But his great background qualified him for full professor rank.
