Well, if you saw what those assistants in Leeds generally looked like
then...yet why forced to resign? One don at my college had sex with each of the
three females who got Firsts one year, in the same evening. Not a dickie-bird
of reproach. Nor for the law prof prosecuted for importuning or cottaging. Then
there was Bowra and the old-style bachelor dons. Leeds eh? Narrow-minded
provincial set.
