Ah, school days! Time again to flagpole sit, stuff phone booths and swallow goldfish, all in the name of higher (and lower) education.

Join me this Thursday morning on WPRB, as we turn our thoughts to academic pursuits. We’ll have symphonies inspired by Cambridge (Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry), Texas Christian University (Don Gillis), Charterhouse (Ralph Vaughan Williams), and a finger-wagging schoolmaster (Franz Joseph Haydn). There will also be a march for the Yale-Princeton Football Game by Charles Ives, and episodes of hard drinking at graduation with Johannes Brahms and Hugo Alfven.

Join me in reassembling the dean’s car in his living room, this Thursday morning from 6 to 11 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM and wprb.com. It will be seven years of college down the drain, on Classic Ross Amico.
