Mill doctorate

[Bill Highsmith]

An efficient degree mill program for a Ph.D. in literature or a D.Litt.: a project-oriented dissertation or degree-by-publication for haiku. Here is an example dissertation:

- - - - - -
old car

rusty paint shards

fall to earth

send diploma

tenure track assured

new car
- - - - -

If questioned about the shortness of the dissertation, the proud academic may reply passionately, "the poem is short, but I spent a lifetime living it." (A pipe wouldn't hurt.)

Bill,

Isn't this the very dissertation used by James Brodigan to earn his Trinity C & U Ph.D.? I think the year was 1998.

Be careful, lest TC&U check you for plagiarism!
