A VERY ANCIENT, ANCIENT ROMAN HISTORY PROFESSOR

WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS A STUDENT IN HISTORY AT WAYNE STATE, HE HAD AN
EXTREMELY OLD PROFESSOR OF ANCIENT HISTORY. MY HUSBAND STARTED
IT AS A JOKE, BUT HIS SAYING WOUND UP AS A KIND OF CAMPUS TALE
FOR THE MUCH REVERED PROFESSOR JOHANSON:
"PROFESSOR JOHANSON IS SO OLD THAT HIS NOTES ARE SIGNED BY
JULIUS CAESAR."
