"Dean! We are going to move on and put this behind us!" Ridcully snapped.

"Excuse me, Archchancellor?" said Ponder Stibbons, who was Head of Inadvisably Applied Magic and also the University's Praelector, a position interpreted at UU as "the one who gets given the tedious jobs."

"Yes, Stibbons?"

"It may be a good idea to put it behind us before we move on, sir," said Ponder. "That way it will be farther behind us when we do, in fact move."

There were a few minutes of silence and then Ponder Stibbons, Head of Inadvisably Applied Magic and Praelector of Unseen University, came running out of the main door carrying Ridcully’s pointy hat. The Archchancellor snatched at it and rammed it on his head. “Very well,” he said, standing up again. “Now will          care to tell m         at the          is going on? and why          Old Tom         ing repeatedly?” “         been a          of magic, sir! I         someone up         the mechanism!” Ponder shouted, above the sound-destroying silences.*

*Old Tom, the University’s venerable clock, tolled not sounds but silences. They were not simply ordinary silences, but intervals of noise-absorbing non-sound that filled the world with loud soundlessness.

This is how I will graduate and I will fight the praelector if he tries to disagree.

MWW Artwork of the Day (1/17/19) Rembrandt van Rijn (Dutch, 1606-1669) The Anatomy Lecture of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp (1632) Oil on canvas, 169.5 x 216.5 cm. Mauritshuis, The Hague

Rembrandt began to work as a professional portraitist about 1631. His earliest existing commissioned portraits (Portrait of a Scholar, The Hermitage, St. Petersburg; Portrait of the Amsterdam Merchant Nicholaas Ruts, Frick Collection, New York) are both of that year. The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp of 1632 shows how quickly he surpassed the smooth technique of the fashionable Amsterdam portraitists. The group portrait of Tulp, appointed 'praelector anatomiae' of Amsterdam's surgeon guild in 1628, and seven of the guild's members probably established his reputation immediately. All potential clients must have been impressed by the new vitality and pictorial richness he gave to the portraits. The picture still impresses us today by the dramatic concentration of the figures on Tulp's demonstration of the dissection of a forearm.

The corpse is the focus of the composition, by its intense brightness. From here, the eye of the spectator is led to the illuminated heads of the listeners, whose expressions and attitudes reflect different degrees of attention, and to the face and hands of Tulp, who is a most convincing representation of a scholar absorbed in his subject. With forceps in his right hand Tulp holds the muscles and tendons of the arm that control the movement of the hand, while the bent fingers of his left hand demonstrate an aspect of their wondrous action. The illusionism is enhanced by the vivid characterization of the individuals as well as by the artist's great power in dramatizing the moment within a coherent group. Without the strong chiaroscuro and the fine atmospheric quality that is combined with it, the picture would lose its intensity, the sculptural quality of the forms, and all the excitement of the moment. Here, psychological and pictorial tension combine to create the feeling of an extraordinary event.

Ponder Stibbons, like Rincewind, also had a number of jobs. However, instead of aspiring to seven, he perspired at three. He had long been the Reader in Invisible Writings, had drifted into the new post as Head of Inadvisably Applied Magic, and had walked in all innocence into the office of Praelector, which is a university title meaning ‘person who gets given the nuisance jobs.’
