Open Summer Education courses upcoming at Siren's Pull University (SPU):

German Philosophy & Literature - Tues., Thurs. 12:30 - 2 PM
- A comprehensive course covering the ideas of Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard and the literary works of Goethe, Kafka, and Mann. Lecture style with discussion encouraged.

Early 20th Century Europe - Mon., Wed., Fri. 2 - 2:50 PM
- Study will center most around the World Wars and what led to both of them, as well as their aftermath. Lecture/discussion course. Taught by newcomer professor, George Smiley, who served in WWII.


[As far as anyone will know, Smiley was a soldier, not a spy.]

Questions on these courses can be directed to Professor Smiley at (NV number), and those interested are asked to register at SPU's enrollment office.

[The innocuous announcement is followed several hours later by an anonymous, untraceable text sent only to Newcomer NVs.]

Oh my god, philosophy?

You can't be serious.

You may as well teach the next generation that they need to stop thinking.

German Philosophy & Literature. Consider one Rose Tyler signed on up.

[And then, in response to that anonymous text...]

I find corporate alliances a bit of a slippery slope even when I'm not stuck on an island with them.

I stand for myself, and the people I know.

[Franz makes note to sign up for the class on WWII. It's genuinely ancient history in his timeline, but it's relatively recent in this one, and could be not only interesting, but useful in context to relating to the 20th and 21st century natives here.

Philosophy... yawn. He doesn't really get into that navel-gazing stuff.]


I stand with the newcomers, and the Newcomer Political Party.

German philosophy? It's been years since I read any of those for a class! I was never really good at philosophy, though. Probably why I went into medicine. [Laughs.]

An education announcement said you served in World War Two. Who did you serve with? What branch?

[Though the Nazis didn't strike him as philosophical types, Walter felt it best to ask given that the material was German. Just to clarify the instructor's official position.]
