Most of you know this, but: Useful documentation of Pound's ambivalent attitude toward the academy can be found on pp. 13-16 of K. K. Ruthven's _Ezra Pound as Literary Critic_ (Routledge, 1990). It's a sad story -- not tragic, just mildly sad -- of a man who kept being rejected by the academy, not wholly without reason, and kept trying to break in anyway. Most poignant of all was when Pound had the Rome Radio announcer call him "Dr. Pound" on the strength of his honorary degree from Hamilton. Jonathan Morse Department of English, University of Hawaii
