Interesting stuff

it's probably pretty puerile - but it occurs to me that if Kinbote is a less
than competent college tutor one of his fears could be dealing with
essays/exams he doesn't fully understand (whether through language or
knowledge difficulties)  - so, that student body crying "Grade Us!"
