The following question has been posed on the MythSoc mailing list - does it trigger anyone's memories of something you've read?
>First, when discussing the Inklings in her most recent lecture (which >by the way drew heavily on Diana's book, which she praised by name), >she told of an occasion when Tolkien and Williams happened to be >lecturing at the same time and said that Williams drew a huge crowd, >while the only person to attend Tolkien's lecture was the official >note-taker. I don't remember ever having heard this story before, nor >that there is any such thing as an 'official note-taker' at Oxford, >never mind the fact that it was Tolkien himself who arranged for >Williams to give lectures and set the schedule. Has anyone else come >across this incident?
