Nico MuhlyGUEST
And I think, so but, but I, I, I do think something interesting is that...
Nico MuhlyGUEST
Yeah, I can tell, I can tell a story that might shed light on this, which is that I, on the disc from Magdalen College, um, the first, uh, one of, one of the first things on it is Alma Redemptoris Mater, which is a macaronic text.
Nico MuhlyGUEST
It's like Old English and then Latin, Old English and then Latin.

Lewis LaphamSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I have to tell you that speaking before an audience at Bard College in the presence of some of the people that I know are in the audience, as well as Francine and Leon Botstein and the writing of Hannah Arendt, I'm reminded of my first tutorial at Cambridge University in the autumn of 1956.
Lewis LaphamSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I don't now remember the name of the Don assigned by Magdalen College to set my New World feet on the path of the old world wisdom, but I remember the setting, late afternoon fog, coals burning in an ancient grate, the Don in academic gown seated behind a silver tea service, preliminary remarks in favor of Samuel Pepys and Admiral Lord Nelson.
Lewis LaphamSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Five months earlier, I'd been graduated from Yale University with honors on my final examinations and the intention of becoming an historian.
Lewis LaphamSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
My professors in New Haven had welcomed the prospect, leading me to believe that I had a firm grasp of what was then a trendsetting course of study admitted to the curriculum under the rubric of intellectual history.
John GreenmanNARRATOR
"Truth it is, Cardinal Wolsey, sometime Archbishop of York, was an honest poor man's son, born in Ipswich, within the county of Suffolk, and being but a child was very apt to learning, by means whereof his parents, or his good friends and masters, conveyed him to the University of Oxford, where he prospered so in learning that, as he told me in his own person, He was called the Boy Bachelor, for as much as he was made Bachelor of Arts at fifteen years of age, which was a rare thing, and seldom seen.
John GreenmanNARRATOR
Thus prospering and increasing in learning, he was made Fellow of Magdalen College, and after appointed, for his learning, to be schoolmaster there.
John GreenmanNARRATOR
At which time the Lord Marquess Dorset had three of his sons at school there with him, committing as well unto him their virtuous education as their instruction and learning.
John GreenmanNARRATOR
It pleased the said Marquess, against a Christmas season, to send as well for the schoolmaster as for his children home to his house for their recreation in that pleasant and honourable feast.
