Professor Murray of English literature said to his colleague, Professor Cardozo of romance languages, "I had an interesting experience during the year. A Miss Brentwood came to see me in the middle of the year and said intensely, 'Professor Murray, I'd do anything to get a passing mark in this course. I mean, literally anything.' She was a strikingly beautiful girl and I must admit I was tempted, but her school record was abominable and I did manage to cling to my integrity. I said, 'Miss Brentwood, I suggest you study.' That, of course, was the last thing she would do and in the end I was forced to give her a failing mark." "Amazing," said Professor Cardozo, "for precisely the same thing happened to me. I, too, had to flunk Miss Brentwood. Do you suppose she tried it with all her professors?" "Possibly," said Professor Murray. "Shall we look up her record and see ?" No sooner said than done. They scanned the record and Professor Cardozo said, "Interesting. An F in my course and in yours and, indeed, in all of them but one. In one course, she got an A." "And which course was that ?" "Professor Hingman's course in professional ethics."
