This is very sound, and Schlimm (if he existed) would be taking notes. He is (or would be) already up to speed with the idea that graduates should be encouraged to stay on and join the teaching staff - apart from keeping control of their wage bill, this also would help prevent (for example) graduates from the School of Medicine being let loose on real patients.<br /><br />[It should be noted that, among the Count's many postgraduate qualifications, he holds a research fellowship from the University of Drossel in Really Hard Stuff.] <br /><br />It has also been pointed out that students from outside the Duchy (or "bloody furreners" as they are known locally) should be required to pay extra-high fees. This is a very attractive idea - the only fly in the ointment at the moment is that such students might bring with them some undesirable preconceptions about the content matter and required standard of the teaching course - Schlimm is working on that one, but it is challenging.

Glad to see that you are buying into the concept.
