I don't understand this. An hour? Who would want only an hour of
literature? An hour on literature? Maybe an hour on math and 90 hours on
literature! I've seen what mathmeticians look like on my campus --- I
don't think so. Give me the Arts! Give me literature! I don't see Math
Majors wooing the woman with quadratic equations, they go to men like me
to show them what sonnets to read to the lasses. LOL!

Actually Mr. McWilliams, with all fun aside, your right. A good
professor evokes learning.
