"Better, but not right. Next." "Please, sir, I'd rather not answer," said Lewis, putting his forefinger in his mouth. "You must, sir." "I know, sir," interrupted Captain Wopper, shaking his fist eagerly. "Silence, you booby! Well, boy, what does it suggest to you?" "Please, sir," answered Lewis, "it suggests the mole on your professorial cheek."
A ribbon of the Legion of Honour or a string of medals may prove a person's courage; a title may prove his birth; a professorial chair his study and acquirement; but it is the habitual carriage of the umbrella that is the stamp of Respectability. The umbrella has become the acknowledged index of social position.
During my professorial days at the University of Michigan I once heard an eminent divine deliver an admirable address on what he called ``The Oscillatory Law of Human Progress'' that is, upon the tendency of human society, when reacting from one evil, to swing to another almost as serious in the opposite direction.
He tossed his cigarette down into the back-garden that fringed the Park, leaning over to watch its zigzag flight of flame. "Is simply this," he replied, " 'that not alone the earth but the whole Universe in its different spans and wave-lengths, is everywhere alive and conscious. He regards the spiritual as the rule in Nature, not the exception. The professorial philosophers have no vision.
He became an instructor in the theological faculty in Tübingen in 1832. He published his Leben Jesu in 1835. He was almost at once removed from his portion. In 1836 he withdrew altogether from the professorial career. His answer to his critics, written in 1837, was in bitter tone.

Around this basin, inside elegant glass cases fastened with copper bands, there were classified and labeled the most valuable marine exhibits ever put before the eyes of a naturalist. My professorial glee may easily be imagined. The zoophyte branch offered some very unusual specimens from its two groups, the polyps and the echinoderms.
It has been shown how this sentiment was met by a prevailing clerical complexion in the Faculty and an emphasis on daily chapel exercises which were maintained long after the practice of considering religious affiliations as one of the prime professorial requisites was abandoned.
Sidwell's blue eyes imitated the movement of her mother's, with a look of profound gravity which showed that she had wholly forgotten herself in reverential listening; only when five minutes' strict attention induced a sense of weariness did she allow a glance to stray first along the professorial rank, then towards the place where the golden head of young Chilvers was easily distinguishable.
The professorial chairs there and elsewhere are more and more being filled with men whose minds have been trained in his principles. The universities only typify his influence on the less learned part of the world. The better sort of journalists educated themselves on his books, and even the baser sort acquired a habit of quoting from them.
It was in this new position that Galileo entered on that marvellous career of investigation which was destined to revolutionize science. The zeal with which he discharged his professorial duties was indeed of the most unremitting character. He speedily drew such crowds to listen to his discourses on Natural Philosophy that his lecture-room was filled to overflowing.
