WCD moves to Toad Hall!

 

WCD is on research leave, writing a book on Paul Ricoeur's Temps et Recit, from May 2008 to January 2009.

You may reach him during the interim at

 Box 1181, Palmer Square Station, Princeton, NJ 08542

WCD is pleased to announce -- with thanks to Professor Cheryl Wall, chairperson extraordinaire, and wonderful Rosalind McInerney, who made it possible-- that he has at last been able to take up permanent residence at 36 Union Street, as a member of the Toad Hall Department of English.

If you've never been to Toad Hall, look at the map below. WCD's office is in 101. (If you look carefully at the picture to the right, you can see WCD waving a friendly greeting as you arrive.)

To get to Toad Hall, just come out the front of Murray and walk ahead until you come out to College Ave. Then turn right and walk down until you come to Mine Street,turn left, walk down until you come to Union Street, and then take a left to Toad Hall. (This takes about 4 minutes.)

If you want to save time, you can cut straight across. The map shows this as attractive greensward, but what is actually there is the grease trucks with two huge parking lots behind them. If you cut through past the grease trucks and dodge the cars trying to find parking places, you can come out on Union St. in 2 minutes.

WCD suggests that you take the longer route. The walk past the grease trucks and through the parking lot is pretty depressing. It is like having died and gone to Albuquerque, New Mexico. When you get to Toad Hall, come in the front door. 101 is the first door on the left. Knock. There you are.

LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION

Students for whom I've agreed to write letters of recommendation need to read a brief guide to procedures. It helps get us both through the process with a minimum of fuss and bother. Click here on "WCD Letters of Recommendation."

As I explain on my home page, I'm no longer on e-mail: a "hijacking program" took over my computer and drove me off e-mail and the web. If you need to get in touch, you may write me at my off-campus address: William C. Dowling, Box 1181, Palmer Square Station, Princeton, NJ 08542.
