Vernon J. Harward. He got his PhD from Columbia in 1953 and taught at Smith from 1962 to 1988. It wouldn’t surprise me if they crossed paths, because medievalists, like Anglo-Catholics, tend to flock together. 😁

And it was Tab, to boot!

My NC-born, chain-smoking Chaucer professor always scheduled his classes at 8am. One morning he walked into class, saw the can of diet soda in front of me, and said in his smoky drawl, “That is the most sybaritic thing I have ever seen.” This from someone who’d been lighting up since breakfast … 🙄

I love that hymn! The traditional melody is so beautiful.

Check out the Hillbilly Thomists’ new album, “Carols”, on iTunes / Spotify. The first track is “On Jordan’s bank”.

🤣😉

Not to mention rhyming slang, so much of which is slyly filthy. 😉

I’ll be looking for it, by golly!

What a precious wee thing. 💙💙💙
