What do you "assign" to the Shire? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I assign the (overall rather feared) teachers who, unexpectedly, decide to finish the lecture by an illustration, reading you a beautiful piece of literature, and even invite the whole class for a drink. (I am horrified by the idea that I actually assigned Professor Š. to the Shire. But he really deserved it. However I am sure all my classmates would be horrified. As am I. Poor hobbits. If they have never heard of Karl Barth, they will now have more than enough of him.)

Consequently, I should assign all good teachers.
