Professing Egoism

"He detests me because I'm in this crazy Religion seminar he conducts, and I can never bring myself to smile back at him when he's being charming and Oxfordish. He's on lend-lease or something from Oxford, and he's just a terrible sad old self-satisfied phony with wild and wooly white hair. I think he goes into the men's room and musses it up before he comes to class- I honestly do. He has no enthusiasm whatever for his subject. Ego, yes. Enthusiasm, no. Which would be all right- I mean it wouldn't be anything exactly strange- but he keeps dropping idiotic hints that he's a Realized Man himself and we should be pretty happy kids to have him in this country."
