In the early part of the year (2001), the other founding members of the Circle received this disturbing email from Chauncey Migswith-Piggerton:

Chauncey Migswith-Piggerton, colleague at UBS

Dear Founding Members,

It is with a heavy, pendulous, throbbing heart that I have to inform you that Dr. Tundra has taken "ill" again.

You may have heard rumours that Dr. Tundra's tour as the founding Chair of Psychodynamic Masturbation here at the University of Bums on Seats (formerly Peckham Polytechnique) has not been going terribly well. Dr. Tundra is a man of vision, a man of extreme ideas, and like all great minds, he finds himself constantly dealing with the mediocrity all around him. In particular, that carbuncle on academe, also known as our Chancellor, Alan Dubious, has been unsupportive of Dr. Tundra. (He has especially taken exception to Dr. Tundra's one-on-two sessions with his female students.) Perhaps it is for this reason that he has slipped back into his old ways.

However, Dr. Tundra quickly realized that he was falling back into an old pattern, and with the help of the English Circle (as we call ourselves) has found the medical care that he needs at the reputable -- and affordable -- Sherksbury-on-Whimple Spa (about a twenty minute drive from Bristol, near Bath).

He can be reached there via email (he promises to respond as soon as they restore his computer privilege) or you can send a letter to me, care of the college. (I have promised to take his "Wankosteria" tutorial for the rest of the term. It is extra work, but I have always considered Psychodynamic Masturbation something of a hobby, what with the wife's problems and all that.

In the meanwhile, rest assured that the first official chapter of the ECRC is hard at work. (Hepless claims that he is very near a major breakthrough on the German translations of Chesley by Badolf Bitler.)

Yours sincerely,

Chauncey Migswith-Piggerton |
