The Tolkien Professor

I really enjoyed this quiz! Thanks for posting it.

I'm in my 4th year of college and EVERY semester, I look for a Tolkien class but sadly, none have been taught at my school while I was a student. I think we need to petition that Tolkien be taught at all public Universities

On a slightly dissappointing note, I have recently leaned that the high school I attended and many others in the area have cut the works of Tolkien from the curriculum because teachers fear that students will only watch the movies and not read the books
