| | Philosophy of Social Science Syllabus, Howard Richards, Earlham College (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | The college course listing did not make clear that this is an advanced course which requires the permission of the instructor for admission. |
 | | I have in mind rather the image of the Oxford or Cambridge undergraduate who visits his (or, nowadays, her) don in chambers, and reads the don the latest draft of a paper, while the don listens and puffs on his (or, nowadays, her) pipe. |
 | | Being a Quaker college, we should do the tutorials without the tobacco, but we should note that the pipe served an important function --it gave the listener something to mess around with to slow down the conversation and thus to allow a lot of time for thinking. |
