1: One of the central sources is an article entitled, "Where Do College English Departments Come From?", published at Indiana University when my grandfather (this guy's son) was also an English professor there. Grandpa Daghlian would have found (probably did find) this to be the funniest title he'd heard that week.
2: It acknowledges UVM, this space's alma mater, as having had one of the world's (!) first English departments. Who knew? That very same department taught us, among other things, that it was okay not to enjoy Emily Dickinson's poetry much. This fact was something of a revelation at the time and it continues to delight, although one worries about stating too publicly that such disregard for a major figure of American Literature is a centerpiece of one's liberal arts education. Oh well.
