The test goes into classics and is succinct, whereas today the hazing rituals are pedantic. People forget the importance of the unwritten history of academia's cultural separation until modern times: how exclusive and unreachable universities once were, and that one's primary qualifications were less academic (hence photographs and interviews) and would be viewed today as enormously discriminatory (and today, illegal). It's important to recount this unpleasant fact to not fall into those traps or adopt new or subtle shades of them if unostensible diversity is a primary virtue. |
