Note 18 — Chapter VII
Reading edition
In 1904-06 I was fellow and assistant instructor in anthropology at Harvard. I had to read the examination papers but my seniors made up the questions. It was a standard joke with them to slip in somewhere: “In what country do the Eskimos live?” A good percentage of Harvard men, ranging from sophomore to senior, could be depended upon to answer: “The Eskimos live in Iceland.” That, my colleagues thought, was a pretty good joke on me.
