In the early 70’s, in the office of the Extension Program at the Maryland Institute College of Art, late one Tuesday evening, there was a phone call from an adoring wife looking for her part time student husband. She was informed that except in emergencies, students could not be contacted during class time. While she had no emergency, she did need to talk to her husband, and could they get a message to him that during his break, that he should call home.
The assistant at the desk assured her this was possible, and asked her in what class her husband was registered. The woman told her it was a life drawing class, but she wasn’t sure which one.
The assistant pulled the records and looked to find the life drawing class offered that evening, and asked the woman for her husband’s name. She gave her the name and the assistant said, “There’s no one registered by that name in that class”.
“There must be”, said the woman, “he’s been going all semester on Tuesday nights, and he comes home with drawings of nudes”.
She checked all the class registrations and said, “He’s not registered anywhere in the school”.
We guessed the nude drawings may all have been from the same model…..
