differences between the jests Of one
generation and that of another lie

ancient jokes and to recognize in them
the ancestors of the things at which
we laugh today in the pages of our
humorous publications.

practical university professor, who
outside of his own subject let's his
wits wander and is very slow to grasp
anything in ordinary life. Such jokes

great universities in ancient Greece.
