James Agate

James Evershed Agate (9 September 1877 – 6 June 1947) was an English diarist and theatre critic between the two world wars. He took up journalism in his late twenties and was on the staff of The Manchester Guardian in 1907–1914. He later became a drama critic for The Saturday Review (1921–1923), The Sunday Times (1923–1947) and the BBC (1925–1932). The nine volumes of Agate's diaries and letters cover the British theatre of his time and non-theatrical interests such as sports, social gossip and private preoccupations with health and finances. He published three novels, translated a play briefly staged in London, and regularly published collections of theatre essays and reviews.

Early years
Agate, the eldest child of Charles James Agate (1832–1909), a wholesale linen draper, and Eulalie Julia née Young, was born in Pendleton, near Manchester, England. His father had a keen interest in music and theatre and connections with them. Gustave Garcia, nephew to the prima donna Maria Malibran, was Charles's lifelong friend after they were apprenticed together in the cotton warehouse. Agate's mother, educated in Paris and Heidelberg, was an accomplished pianist. Through Agate's family ties with the active German artistic community in Manchester, he had much exposure to performance in his youth. In October 1912, Sarah Bernhardt visited the Agate home, an indication of the family's position in the local arts. Agate's only sister, May, later studied acting under Bernhardt in Paris.

After education at Giggleswick School and Manchester Grammar School, where he was academically outstanding, he did not go to a university, but went into his father's business, where he worked for 17 years. In his spare time he was a regular theatre goer, and admired and longed to emulate the critical writing of George Bernard Shaw in The Saturday Review. In 1906 he wrote a letter about drama to a local Manchester paper. The editor printed Agate's contribution and invited him to write a weekly theatre column. After a year Agate joined the Manchester Guardian's team of critics under the guidance of C. E. Montague. Even as a junior critic Agate did not hesitate to give bad notices to the leading figures of the English stage when he thought it justified. Within months of taking up his post, he wrote of Herbert Beerbohm Tree's performance as Richard II, "It was extraordinarily uninteresting, and it is amazing how badly a tragic part can fit an actor so fine as, in other directions, Mr. Tree undoubtedly is." Later, Agate was bested by Lilian Braithwaite, who responded to his assertion that she was "the second most beautiful woman in London" by replying, "I shall long cherish that, coming from our second-best theatre critic."

In his early twenties, Agate wrote a play, The After Years, which his biographer, Ivor Brown describes as "less than successfully realized". Another biographer, James Harding, said of Agate's subsequent attempts at fiction (a second play and three novels) that they are "of small import".

Agate volunteered in May 1915 at the age of thirty-seven for the Army Service Corps, and was posted to France. He had an arrangement to supply a series of open letters about his wartime experiences to Allan Monkhouse at The Manchester Guardian. These were published in his first book, L. of C. (Lines of Communication), of which a reviewer wrote, "Captain James E. Agate ranks as one of the first hundred thousand soldiers who have written a book about the war, but... one is sure there will be no other book like this one.... It is our old friend 'J. E. A.' at his irritating best in khaki." Agate's fluency in French and knowledge of horses found him a successful job as a hay procurer, described in the first volume of his Ego. His system of accounting for wartime hay purchases in a foreign land was eventually recognised by the War Office and made into an official handbook. Captain Agate's name was engraved on the Chapel-en-le-Frith War Memorial in Derbyshire. After L of C, Agate published a book of essays on the theatre, Buzz, Buzz! (1918). In the same year, while still serving in France, Agate married Sidonie Joséphine Edmée Mourret-Castillon, daughter of a rich landowner. The marriage was short-lived, and after it broke up amicably, Agate's relationships were exclusively homosexual.

London theatre critic
On returning to civilian life, Agate pursued his career as a theatre critic. In 1919 he published a second book of essays, Alarums and Excursions. In 1921 he secured the post with The Saturday Review once held by Shaw (and then by Max Beerbohm), and in 1923 he moved to The Sunday Times, where he remained theatre critic for the rest of his life. From 1925 to 1932 he combined his newspaper work with the post of drama critic for the British Broadcasting Corporation. His former paper, The Manchester Guardian, later wrote of him, "That Agate was the first dramatic critic of his time may well be doubted by adherents of Ivor Brown or Desmond MacCarthy, but beyond dispute he was the first theatrical critic. He was native to the theatre, he understood acting, he had in his blood both the French... and English stages."

In addition to his work on theatre, Agate was film critic to The Tatler and literary critic to The Daily Express, and also had leisure interests that occupied much time and money. He was a cricket and boxing enthusiast, the owner of Hackney show horses, and an avid golfer. All these are reflected in his diaries, published between 1935 and his death in a series of volumes entitled Ego, Ego 2, Ego 3, etc. (When he published Ego 8, his friend and sometime secretary Leo Pavia enquired, "Will the Ninth be choral?") The historian Jacques Barzun, a fan of Agate and editor of a reissue of the last two volumes of Agate's Ego series, highlighted Agate in 2001, which rekindled the interest of a new generation: "When in 1932 he [Agate] decided to start a diary, he resolved to depict his life entire, which meant giving a place not solely to his daily thoughts and occupations but also to his talk and correspondence with others, including his brothers and sister, no less singular than himself. The resulting narrative, with fragments of hilarious mock-fiction, ranks with Pepys's diary for vividness of characterization and fullness of historical detail". Alistair Cooke was another admirer of Agate, and devoted one of his "Letters from America" to the "Supreme Diarist."

Agate had a series of secretaries, of whom Alan Dent, known as Jock, served for 14 years and became the most prominent. Dent arrived on Agate's doorstep in September 1926: "He announced that his name was Alan Dent, that he resided at some absurd place near Ayr, that he had received university education, hated medicine and refused to be a doctor, that he admired my work, intended to be my secretary willy-nilly, and had walked from Scotland for that purpose. I looked at his boots and knew the last statement to be merely ad captandum and with intent to mollify." (From Ego [1], Page 91.)

Agate's style in the diary entries that constitute the nine volumes of "Ego" is discursive. Anecdotes of the day's news, excerpts from his voluminous correspondence with readers of his reviews and books, frank and often amusing ruminations on his health (he was a hypochondriac and obsessive-compulsive) and poor financial state abound. Many of his diary entries mention his friends Herbert Van Thal, George Lyttelton, Dent and Pavia, and Edward Agate, his much-loved brother. He had recurring themes around Malibran, Sarah Bernhardt, Réjane, Rachel, the Dreyfus Affair, Shakespeare, and Dickens. His style is "vigorous and outspoken, and always entertaining, in spite of his refusal to admit greatness in any actor later than Irving." He has been compared to critics of an earlier generation, Clement Scott and A B Walkley: "He admired the power Scott had enjoyed on the Daily Telegraph during the last third of the nineteenth century, and enjoyed Walkley's elitism and francophilia on The Times during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. Agate sought to position himself in that tradition, and his criticism consequently is verbose and self-indulgent but hugely entertaining and revealing."

Agate made a short-lived, unsuccessful adaptation of a German play, I Accuse! from the original of Dr. Hans Rehfisch and Wilhelm Herzog; it opened and closed in London in October 1937. The Times reviewer commented, "Mr. Agate is suspected of having been too faithful to a too earnest German original." His theatrical notices appeared in a series of collections. including Buzz, Buzz!, Playgoing, First Nights and More First Nights, and are valuable for their history of London theatre between the world wars. His anthology The English Dramatic Critics, 1660–1932 is important. He wrote a biography of the French actress Rachel, which the novelist Arnold Bennett called "excited and exciting" and of its subject "beyond question the best life in English".

Later life
Agate's health declined during the Second World War and he began to suffer from heart trouble. He died suddenly at his home in Holborn, London, at the age of 69, shortly after completing his ninth Ego volume.

The Dukes, Lancaster

The Dukes is a theatre in Lancaster, England. It is the county's only producing theatre venue, and is an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation. As well as producing two theatre productions each year, it also hosts a varied programme of touring theatre, comedy, live music and dance. It also has a reputation for screening independent cinema and in 2017 won Northern Soul's Cinema of the Year Award.

History
The venue opened as a theatre, under the name Duke's Playhouse, on 18 November 1971 in the former St Anne's Church, having undergone a year-long conversion costing approximately £180,000. The Queen, who also held the title of "Duke of Lancaster", gave her permission for the use of the name and the theatre was opened by Paymaster General and Minister for the Arts, Viscount Eccles.

Auditoria
The theatre has three auditoria across two separate buildings. In the main building "The Rake" is the larger space seating approximately 313, with "The Round" studio space seating approximately 240. The Dukes Centre for Creative Learning, a short walk up Moor Lane, has its own dedicated space for youth and community projects and performances.

Homegrown productions
The Dukes now produces only two productions each year, known as "homegrown productions": a "Park" show and a Christmas production. These are shows that are created almost entirely by the team at the theatre and over the years have included both new and existing work.

The Play in the Park
In 1987 The Dukes began producing annual open-air, walkabout theatre in Williamson Park each summer. The first production was A Midsummer Night's Dream which opened on 24 June and was the brainchild of then Artistic Director Johnathan Petherbridge and Theatre Administrator John Stalker. Andy Serkis, now an honorary patron of the theatre, appeared in the first "Play in the Park".

Since it began more than 500,000 people have seen a Dukes Park Show and the 2016 production of The Hobbit won Best Show for Children and Young People at the UK Theatre Awards. The Play in the Park is also thought to be the largest outdoor promenade theatre event in the UK.

Christmas production
The Dukes' Christmas production currently takes place in "The Round", although in the past it has also used "The Rake" stage. The Christmas production tends to vary from the usual pantomime formula but retains some audience participation elements. In recent years, under new Artistic Director Sarah Punshon, the show has also incorporated original music created by The Baghdaddies.

Other productions
As well as the Play in the Park and Christmas production, The Dukes produces at least one other homegrown show each year. Recently the theatre has taken the decision to produce shows which have a strong connection to their audiences and in 2017 created Blackout, which told the story of how Storm Desmond affected the Lancaster and Morecambe area.

Creative Learning
As well as being a theatre and cinema for the general public, The Dukes also has its own Centre for Creative Learning which is based a short walk from the main theatre, further along Moor Lane. The Creative Learning arm of The Dukes organise a variety of projects with children, young people and adults, aiming to broaden access to the arts.

The Dukes' Young Company produce a show each year as well as making appearances in some of the other productions at the theatre including the Play in the Park. Notable former members of The Dukes' Young Company include Coronation Street actress Cherylee Houston who is now an honorary patron at the theatre.

In recent years The Dukes has been championing how the arts can improve the lives and mental well-being of people living with dementia through their three-year 'A Life More Ordinary' programme. A variety of activities including dementia friendly film screenings, which include an interval and live music accompaniment, and tailored participatory workshops were developed and shared with other cinemas and theatres across the country. The programme culminated in the 'Creative Adventures in Dementia' conference at The Dukes in May 2018.

Population
I think that the method of extrapolating the population of Terenure from the 2002 CSO figures is flawed, in that the boundaries of a suburb such as Terenure cannot be said to be described by the DEDs including the name of the suburb. See my talk page and that of Bastique for our discussion on the topic.

This no longer makes sense since the reference to Dublin 4 was deleted. In fact it suggests that Dublin 6W ought to be a lower-class suburb.

-Scolaire 15:33, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

I went to secondary school in Dubln 4, always lived in Terenure (D6w) no difference to me but seriously whats the big deal with Dublin 4 (d4) ?? making egos bigger is the only valid (to them) reason that i can see. --79.97.93.6 13:33, 06 August 2008 (UTC)

Geographical error
>> It is located north of Harold's Cross and south of Rathfarnham.

Eh, no! Going south from the River Liffey you pass through Harold's Cross, then Terenure, then Rathfarnham. Therefore Terenure is south of Harold's Cross and north of Rathfarnham. Scolaire 20:29, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Recent editions
As a long-term resident of Terenure, I'd really like somebody to explain to me:

Who was 'drinker Thomas Barry'?

Where is 'the west bank of the town'?

What was the '10 Penny Bag War' and how are we supposed to 'see' it when there is no such article?

Is Terenure College really called 'The Gick' and why have i never heard that before (I'm a Mary's man myself)?

Scolaire 21:26, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Yeah, some very dodgy stuff in there which I've now removed. Some of the information might be valid but we'll wait for sources etc. --Ryano 11:16, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Austin Clarke
Austin Clarke is not from Terenure, he is most definitely from Templeogue.--Bella vista 09:56, 1 December 2006 (UTC) Please remove Austin Clarkes name from this. He lived adjacent to Templeogue Bridge. He lived his adult life in Templeogue and i believe he grew up in the city, although i am not fully sure of this.Bella vista 16:18, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

"The Gick"
Is that bit in the sport section not kinda vandalism? Seems inappropriate for an encyclopedia? Backbeatlistener (talk) 01:15, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Not really. I questioned it myself a few paragraphs ago, but it turns out that actually is its nickname.  The explanation is a bit "ew", but there's nothing fundamentally wrong with stating facts, with an explanation.  Scolaire (talk) 07:56, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Any old Dublin rugby can explain the origin of the nickname. I heard from a Blackrock old boy who played at 'Nure in teh early 1960's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.223.203.4 (talk) 10:01, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

The Mannerings
This paragraph has been repeatedly added over a period of years without any attempt to show notability. I have googled mannering "new york" and there is no prominent Mannering family in that city. I have also looked at the Mannering family of Terenure in the 1911 census and the head of household was a car driver, not an estate agent. The 30 September 2009 edition of Southside People is on-line here. The article on Terenure is quite obviously taken from this Wikipedia article, including the Mannering paragraph. I am asking the person who is adding the paragraph to please stop. Scolaire (talk) 14:47, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

 * A stand alone article was also deleted in November 2009 Articles for deletion/The Mannerings of Terenure. Notability has never been shown nor verified in either article. ww2censor (talk) 14:55, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

"The Gick" again
I have removed the following from the article: If a reference can be found it can be added back, but I have to say that it looks like some rugby (not Terenure) fan having a laugh. Scolaire (talk) 06:29, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * "Gick" is old Dublin slang for cow dung. The nickname was conferred on Terenure College around the 1960's . At that time the Carmelites ran a farm on College grounds. The livestock included dairy cattle which were allowed to graze on the rugby pitches. As a result during matches many rugby players got covered in cow dung (in tackles and collapsed scrums). Some 'Nure players specialised in collapsing scrums played over cow patties so the opposition would fall face first ino the "Gick" i.e. the cow dung. Away teams dreaded playing there and christened the College the "Gick" . Farmimg activities at the college ceased around 1972

 * Clearly you have never played rugby!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.223.203.4 (talk) 10:02, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * That kind of comment is unhelpful!! Scolaire (talk) 10:58, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Anu old boy who schools rugby can verify the origin of the nicknmae. It was realted to me in the early 1990's by a played from Blackrock who played schools rugby in the 1960's. I also heard it in New York from an old boy fron 'Nure. The older priests in the College will tell you thta this in the origin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.223.203.4 (talk) 10:06, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Sorry, but there is a poliicy called Verifiability, which says that all material in Wikipedia articles must be attributable to a reliable published source. If no source exists for something you want to add to Wikipedia, it is what we call original research, and original research is not allowed.  If you cannot find a reliable published source for this "fact", please do not continue to add it back, as that is disruptive.  Scolaire (talk) 10:58, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Gick is slang for shit. A verifiable citation would be required to include this information to show that the nickname is real, widespread, and persistent and not a passing fad among a handful of impish schoolboys for a month or two. Even if a citation was discovered, it is trivia anyway so is not notable. — O'Dea (talk) 00:32, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Edit request on 10 January 2012
The following "Gick" is slang for excrement should be changed to "Gick" is rhyming slang for Manure ie. Terenure

history
Just wondering whether somebody could add something about how Terenure used to be called Roundtown. When was it changed, why? Is Terenure an older historical name or was it plucked from nowhere in the 19th century? Seems odd that it hasn't been mentioned at all in the article.

I don't know much about this at all, and will change it myself when I find out more information (but this could happen in a while or never). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Achasanai (talk • contribs) 20:48, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Beyond the Rainbow

Beyond the Rainbow is a 1922 American silent drama film starring Billie Dove, Harry T. Morey and Clara Bow in her film debut. A 16mm print of the film is in the collection of the UCLA Film and Television Archive.

Plot
As described in a film magazine, Marion Taylor (Dove) is a stenographer employed by Wall Street broker Edward Mallory (Morey). She is the support of an invalid younger brother, who has been ordered to the Adirondack Mountains by the family physician. To get money for this, she attends a reception as the escort of a young society man, for which she receives $100. Edward is peeved as she has rejected his advances, and threatens to expose her when he sees Marion at the party. Each guest at the function receives a mysterious note saying, "Consult your conscience. Your secret is common gossip." Immediately, the guests are thrown into a panic as each has something to hide. The notes, however, were inspired by flapper Virginia Gardener, who had been left out of the party thrown by her mother (Ware), and passed out the notes as a joke to get revenge. A man is shot during the excitement and Major Bruce Forbes (Gordon), who picked up the gun, is initially accused of murder. However, the real shooter soon confesses. Marion goes to the Adirondacks to see her brother, and finds happiness in the arms of Bruce, who fell in love with her at the ball.

Production notes
Clara Bow made her film debut in Beyond the Rainbow after winning a beauty and acting magazine sponsored contest. She filmed five scenes but, after seeing the film in Brooklyn, thought that she was cut from the film. Bow was devastated and put temporarily her acting ambitions aside; however, newspaper advertisements and editorial comments suggests she was not cut at all, at least not from the main release.

Left Behind: World at War

Left Behind: World at War is a 2005 American Christian thriller film and the third in the series of films based on the Left Behind book series. It was directed by Craig R. Baxley and produced by Cloud Ten Pictures. The film premiered in churches on October 21, 2005, before its release on DVD and VHS on October 25, 2005. It was based primarily on the last fifty pages of the 1996 novel Tribulation Force and is currently the last film in the Left Behind film series, as a new adaption of the first book was made and released on October 3, 2014. The film ends with a cliffhanger that is never resolved as the producers decided not make a fourth installment.

Plot
Eighteen months after the events of the previous film, the world has fallen into chaos. In the collapsing ruins of the White House, U.S. President Gerald Fitzhugh (Louis Gossett Jr.) videotapes a confession. He looks out the window as a shadowy figure arrives in the doorway.

One week earlier, the Tribulation Force, consisting of Rayford Steele (Brad Johnson), his daughter Chloe (Janaya Stephens), Buck Williams (Kirk Cameron), Bruce Barnes (Arnold Pinnock), and Chris Smith are in the process of stealing Bibles from a Global Community (GC) compound. Guards burst into the warehouse and are handily defeated by Chris (using kung fu) while the remaining Trib Force members escape. In Washington, D.C., the President and his Vice-President, John Mallory (Charles Martin Smith), are taking some time away from the White House. Mallory informs Fitzhugh of Nicolae's plans and how he has found evidence that Nicolae is planning a biological attack on American soil. Before he can share the information, Mallory is killed in an ambush, but a militia group comes to the aid of the President.

Back at the Trib Force underground headquarters, Bruce Barnes performs a double wedding ceremony: Buck to Chloe, and Rayford to Amanda White, the newest member who once knew Rayford's first wife before the vanishings. After the ceremony is over, Buck heads over to Los Angeles and Rayford flies to New Babylon. Nicolae meets with Fitzhugh who expresses his deepest concern over the news of Mallory's death, and teams up with Carolyn Miller, who poses as Nicolae's top aide at GC headquarters. Together, they find Nicolae's secret plan of stealing Bibles and lacing them with anthrax before distributing them. The GC block their escape, and Fitzhugh kills one of the guards in the process.

Fitzhugh is recruited by Miller's ragtag military team to help take out Nicolae, which he participates in. He also learns that the British and Egyptian governments are working with the militia. Fitzhugh enters the GC building and asks to see the President (it is also revealed that one of the GC guards is really an insider, but is shot by another). Fitzhugh enters Nicolae's office, but Nicolae is already aware of Fitzhugh's assassination attempt and foils it. Fitzhugh tries to shoot Nicolae with three rounds, but he is not affected as they go through him and hit a guard instead. Using supernatural techniques, Nicolae throws Fitzhugh out of a 20-story window, landing on top of a car. Nicolae goes over to the window to see, in disgust, Fitzhugh getting up and walking away. Fitzhugh is not believed when he returns to the militia base to inform that the plan failed: Carolyn takes this the hardest.

The underground Trib Force HQ is hit the hardest as World War III approaches. Bruce and Chloe are infected with the virulent bacteria, but in the end, it is Chloe who miraculously survives when red wine, used in the communion they just took part of, is revealed to be the antidote. Buck meets Fitzhugh in a destroyed White House, where he helps the President become a Christian. Fitzhugh then confronts Nicolae in a final showdown where he activates a personal transmitter (and dials Carolyn's cell phone, where she hears the entire conversation), hoping to obliterate the entire GC headquarters, and himself, with a missile locked onto the transmitter's location. Fitzhugh dies in the resulting explosion, wiping out the GC base.

Buck Williams gets a call in the elevator from Chloe as she tells him about the wine and Bruce's death. Buck promises to come home from his trip soon as the elevator stops and the door opens to reveal an armed Carolyn. She lowers her weapon and Buck states that they need to talk, implying that they had met before. What is left of the Global Community Building burns down, police sirens wail in the background, and explosions are still going on. Nicolae Carpathia walks out from the flames looking very angry, completely unharmed.

Cast

 * Louis Gossett Jr. as President Gerald Fitzhugh
 * Kirk Cameron as Buck Williams
 * Brad Johnson as Rayford Steele
 * Jessica Steen as Carolyn Miller
 * Gordon Currie as Nicolae Carpathia
 * Janaya Stephens as Chloe Steele
 * Chelsea Noble as Hattie Durham
 * Laura Catalano as Amanda White
 * Arnold Pinnock as Bruce Barnes
 * Charles Martin Smith as Vice President John Mallory
 * David Eisner as Chief of Staff Allan Campbell
 * Richard Fitzpatrick as Major Kent

Production
Filming took place in Toronto, Ontario. Clarence Gilyard Jr. was originally signed to reprise his role of Bruce Barnes but could not return due to a scheduling conflict. As a devout Catholic he has also said his priest was happy he did not reprise the role, as the films portray a premillennial rapturist theology that is in opposition to the Catholic Church's amillennial teachings.

Differences from the novel
The final two chapters of the book Tribulation Force and the first four or five chapters of Nicolae have events that match up to what is shown in World at War. Recognizable events were the marriages of Buck with Chloe and Rayford with Amanda, the death of Bruce Barnes, and the U.S. President heading an attack with Britain and Egypt, against the Global Community.

Major parts of the movie, however, were not in any of the books: the poisoning of Bibles by the forces of Nicolae, and an attempt by Fitzhugh to assassinate Nicolae. Buck's meeting with the president in the books makes it into the movie, but in a totally different form. Also, in the movie Nicolae Carpathia, the main antagonist, is portrayed almost as a supernatural being, displaying supernatural powers against his enemies; this is most clearly shown at the end, where Carpathia walks out completely unharmed from the wreckage of a building that was literally blown into pieces.

Reception
Todd Hertz from Christianity Today rated the film two out of four stars and said, "The mere existence of cheese in a Left Behind film comes as no surprise to some movie fans. However, excluding a few goofy moments, Left Behind: World at War plays out as an average TV drama. Many times, I caught myself thinking of it as 24—with less action and more prayer time. There's impressive acting, some intrigue, mostly decent special effects, and good themes for Christian discussion". Nathan Rabin of The Dissolve wrote that the film is too well-made to be campy enough for non-believers, but Christians should enjoy its better production values than the previous films in the series. Beyond Hollywood wrote, "Religion-themed films have never been known for action scenes, but World at War seems to be making a statement that good action in the genre is indeed possible." Scott Weinberg of DVD Talk wrote that "it's just as overstuffed with smug sermonizing as its predecessors". David Johnson of DVD Verdict wrote, "It's not great, but World at War is an all-around better effort than the other films."

A game based on the film was released by Inspired Media Entertainment (formerly Left Behind games).

If people relied on Wikipedia articles, here is how the college selection procedure would go*

Dean Puschleigh: So, Johnny, what are your thoughts about college?

Johnny: I wanna go to film school! Film school! I wanna apply to USC or UCLA.

Dean Puschleigh: You'd like to be the next Steven Spielberg? [Avuncular chuckle]

Johnny: No. Antonioni, maybe, or Ingmar Bergman.

Dean Puschleigh: Who? Anyway, Johnny, you can do better than those schools. You have a 3.98 GPA—

Daddy: Down to 3.98??? Johnny, you've got to buckle down and quit wasting time hanging around with those bad companions at the Coolidge Corner Cinema.

Dean Puschleigh: Oh, but his extracurricular activities will count in his favor. Started the Film Club and is President. Produced his own soap opera in our Media Center. And that cable access show he runs... I think he can shoot high.

Mommy: We were thinking Harvard, Dean Puschleigh. After all, U.S. News and World Report ranks it number 1. And his great-uncle went there.

Johnny: How's their film school?

Mommy: Johnny! It's Harvard! They're Number 1. In everything!

Johnny: Would I get hands-on time with a real Mitchell at Harvard, or just an Arri?

Mommy: I'm sure that whatever Harvard does must be for the best. They have the largest endowment. In the world!

Dean Puschleigh: Well, ma'am, us guidance professionals don't put quite so much stock in U.S. News as the lay public does. Actually, Harvard is not really all that good. Look. The Atlantic Monthly says MIT is the most selective. And the Washington Monthly, which is what we all rely on, says MIT is the best school in the U.S.. My job is to get kids placed into the best schools I can, so I think little Johnny should apply to MIT. His second choice could be one of those good little schools like Swarthmore, and, of course, U Mass as his safety.

Johnny: How's MIT's film school?

Dean Puschleigh: I don't know... but the important thing is that MIT is very selective...

Daddy: It's OK, Johnny, I've heard they have some kind of "media lab" there. That must be what they call their film school.

Dean Puschleigh: OK, it's settled. NEXT!

Dean Puschleigh: So, Billy, have you thought about college?

Billy: MIT! MIT! I wanna to go to MIT!

Dean Puschleigh: You want to be the next Bill Gates? [Avuncular laugh]

Billy: I dream of being like Marvin Minsky. Marvin Minsky is my hero! And it would be way cool to build a computer like Jay W. Forrester did. Or ride a unicycle down the hallway like Claude Shannon. I know I could never really be like them, but—

Dean Puschleigh: Who? Anyway, I don't think MIT is a possibility for you, Billy. The Atlantic Monthly says MIT is the most selective university in the U.S. Your GPA is only 3.92.

Daddy: Billy, you've got to buckle down! Your only good grades are in math and science. Look at this: a B+ in English! A B+! You have to quit spending so much time reading those trashy Donald Knuth books and more time really digging into To Kill a Mockingbird.

Dean Puschleigh: I don't see much here in the way of extracurricular activities to offset that 3.92. Frankly, Mr. Jones, Billy is a geeky little nerd. He's just not well-rounded. He isn't on any teams, isn't in any clubs. And of course there was that little trouble with Homeland Security about that explosive device he built. No top school would want him. Certainly not MIT, which according to the Washington Monthly is the best school in the U.S.

Mommy: (sobs) What will we do? What can I say to my friends? We just have to get Billy into a prestigious college.

Dean Puschleigh: Well, let's see. Maybe he could get into Reed.

Mommy: (horrified) Reed? Reed? Reed hasn't got any prestige.

Dean Puschleigh: Reed's not so bad. Reed has a little bit of prestige. Plus they have a reputation for tolerating oddballs and misfits.

Mommy: Could we at least get him into Williams? Williams isn't as prestigious as MIT, but it's got more prestige than Reed.

Billy: How's Williams' comp sci department?

Mommy: Billy, Williams is a little Ivy. Why, Garfield graduated from Williams.

Billy: Eugene Garfield, the information scientist? Kewl!

Mommy: No, James A. Garfield, President of the United States in 1881

Billy: Aw, shucks, that was before ENIAC, even.

Dean Puschleigh: OK, OK, Williams for his "stretch." Then Reed, and, of course, U Mass for his safety. But please don't embarrass me by applying to MIT.

(Exeunt family, sobbing)

* In case it's not clear, this is satirizing the out-of-control Academic boosterism rampant on Wikipedia, and the tendency of every college article to degenerate into assertions of "prestige," selective citations of lists on which the school is highly ranked--U. S. News if possible, but Washington Monthly if necessary. Nor can these articles be balanced by any indication of strengths and weakness because no weakness are ever conceded.
