Professor Herbert Goodale, an Amherst professor, is found at Thompsonville. with his throat cut and both wrists slashed. He will live. "I will do a better job, next time." he said. Such ignorance is inexcusable in a professor. Petronius, a character in Quo vadis, a famous historical novel. slashes his wrists, and bathes the wounded members in warm water.

The last failure is evidence of that incapacity of the will which made them failures.
