The Adventurer
C. M. Kornbluth
The Only Thing We Learn
THE PROFESSOR, though he did not know the actor's phrase for it, was counting the house-peering
through a spyhole in the door through which he would in a moment appear before the class. He was
pleased with what he saw. Tier after tier of young people, ready with notebooks and styli, chattering
tentatively, glancing at the door against which his nose was flattened, waiting for the pleasant interlude
known as "Archaeo-Literature 203" to begin.
The professor stepped back, smoothed his tunic, crooked four books on his left elbow, and made his
entrance. Four swift strides brought him to the lectern and, for the thousandth-odd time, he impassively
swept the lecture hall with his gaze. Then he gave a wry little smile. Inside, for the thousandth-odd time,
he was nagged by the irritable little thought that the lectern really ought to be a foot or so higher.
The irritation did not show. He was out to win the audience, and he did. A dead silence, the supreme
tribute, gratified him. Imperceptibly, the lights of the lecture hall began to dim and the light on the lectern
to brighten.
He spoke.
