[Wild Bill]

Yeah, I know. But that's one of the burdens of being of German descent--do it thoroughly the hard way!

Compared to when I graduated, I have about half the historical knowledge I had then. As my father would say, I have been totally Americanized. Course work at LSU started with 12 books per class, plus term paper--and that was for undergraduates. Grad students were expected to do that plus read every book one could off a massive course reading list, all needed book reviews, the more you read then better your grade.

I audited a class one summer that emphasized reading and the prof told his wife, another grad student who told me, that he thought I was the only one in the class who deserved a grade and credit. The others all floated. But I had to read all of this for the written final for my degree, so I decided to get on with it.
