(Narrator) You're tra vel/ng
through another dimension.

00:00:12,971 --> 00:00:16,350
A dimension not onl y of
sightand sound but of mind.

00:00:16,433 --> 00:00:20,103
A journey into a wondrous land whose

Your next stop,
the twilight zone.

00:00:33,575 --> 00:00:38,413
We have talked of the work
of Alfred Edward housman.

7
00:00:38,497 --> 00:00:42,584
Born... what year, Mr. Graham?

8
00:00:42,668 --> 00:00:43,961
What year, sir?

9
00:00:44,044 --> 00:00:45,796
Precisely the question.

10
00:00:47,506 --> 00:00:49,299
Sometime this century, I think.

11
00:00:49,383 --> 00:00:52,052
Close, Mr. Graham.
Closer than usual.

12
00:00:52,094 --> 00:00:53,845
[Laughter]

13
00:00:53,929 --> 00:00:57,599
Alfred Edward housman
was born, Mr. Graham,

14
00:00:57,683 --> 00:01:00,727
and for the benefit
of the rest of the class,

15
00:01:00,769 --> 00:01:03,981
was born in 1859.

16
00:01:04,064 --> 00:01:06,775
His death occurred,
what year, Mr. Butler?

17
00:01:06,858 --> 00:01:10,320
Uh... around 1900, sir.

18
00:01:10,404 --> 00:01:13,073
Upon my soul, young Mr. Butler,

19
00:01:13,115 --> 00:01:15,576
you and Mr. Graham
are kindred spirits.

20
00:01:15,617 --> 00:01:19,580
You are masters of inexactness.

21
00:01:19,663 --> 00:01:24,585
Alfred Edward housman
died in 1936.

22
00:01:24,626 --> 00:01:28,005
All of you will recall,
I'm quite sure,

24
00:01:30,090 --> 00:01:33,468
A little of which I'm
now going to read to you.

25
00:01:37,723 --> 00:01:40,642
"When I was one and twenty,

26
00:01:40,726 --> 00:01:44,354

This being the last
afternoon of the semester

41
00:02:41,495 --> 00:02:45,248
and three days before the Christmas
holidays, I think it behooves me

42
00:02:45,332 --> 00:02:49,586
to show at least a minute
degree of compassion

43
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:51,880
and, uh, let you out early.

44
00:02:51,963 --> 00:02:56,718
I might add that whilst
your final examination papers

45
00:02:56,802 --> 00:02:59,846
are not yet ready
to be returned to you,

46
00:02:59,888 --> 00:03:03,100
you have all, amazingly
enough, passed.

Oh, boy.

48
00:03:05,143 --> 00:03:10,440
Yes. My delight is only
exceeded by my sense of shock.

49
00:03:10,524 --> 00:03:14,903
It is rare, young men,
that in 51 years of teaching

50
00:03:14,986 --> 00:03:19,074
I have ever
encountered such a class

51
00:03:19,157 --> 00:03:21,118
of dunderheads.

52
00:03:23,370 --> 00:03:25,747
But nice dunderheads,

53
00:03:25,831 --> 00:03:30,585
and potentially fine young
men who will make their marks

54
00:03:30,669 --> 00:03:33,964
and leave their marks.

55
00:03:34,047 --> 00:03:36,758

Oh, no. No, no, no. It's...

69
00:04:36,234 --> 00:04:39,362
There's a broadcast of handel's
mess/ah on the radio at 5:00,

70
00:04:39,446 --> 00:04:41,948
and I'd very much
like to hear it.

71
00:04:41,990 --> 00:04:46,119
That's a very lovely
thing that, uh...

72
00:04:46,161 --> 00:04:49,372
Very, uh, yule-like.

73
00:04:49,456 --> 00:04:52,709
Yes, yes. Well, this
won't take long.

74
00:04:52,793 --> 00:04:56,338
Professor, you did not
respond to the letter

75
00:04:56,421 --> 00:04:58,215
the trustees sent you last week.

76
00:04:58,298 --> 00:05:03,011
Letter? Uh... oh. I'm
terribly sorry, headmaster.

77
00:05:03,094 --> 00:05:05,013
I've just remembered.

78
00:05:05,096 --> 00:05:08,141
I haven't opened my mail
for the last few weeks.

79
00:05:08,183 --> 00:05:11,436

busy. Prepara tion for the holida ys

80

81
00:05:14,773 --> 00:05:18,735
Though very I'm certain I know the
contents of that particular letter.

82
00:05:18,819 --> 00:05:20,987
And, uh, your reaction?

83
00:05:21,071 --> 00:05:24,991
Oh, well, naturally,
I'll go along.

84
00:05:25,075 --> 00:05:28,245
Well, that's very
perspicacious of you, professor.

85
00:05:28,328 --> 00:05:31,540
I shall tell the trustees that
you've read their communication

86
00:05:31,623 --> 00:05:34,251
and that you agree with it.
Now, as to your replacement...

87
00:05:34,334 --> 00:05:36,711
I was telling my housekeeper
only the other day,

88
00:05:36,795 --> 00:05:40,924
I shall very likely go on teaching
in this place until I'm 100 years old.

89
00:05:41,007 --> 00:05:44,052
Two years ago I actually
taught the grandson

90
00:05:44,135 --> 00:05:47,597
of one of my former pupils.
The grandson, Mark you.

91
00:05:47,681 --> 00:05:51,768
On my word, I think it's not
beyond the bounds of possibility

92
00:05:51,852 --> 00:05:54,938
that I shall live to teach a
great grandson one of these days.

93
00:05:55,021 --> 00:05:59,734
It was the Reynolds boy. You know
him. His father was Damon Reynolds,

94
00:05:59,818 --> 00:06:03,613
and his grandfather,
uh, oh, dear.

95
00:06:03,697 --> 00:06:09,202
Regular rascal of a boy. Would
persist in calling me "weird beard."

96
00:06:09,286 --> 00:06:11,371
Didn't know I knew he
was calling me that.

97
00:06:11,413 --> 00:06:14,374
Professor Fowler,
I think it best

98
00:06:14,457 --> 00:06:17,419
you read that communication
the trustees sent.

99
00:06:17,502 --> 00:06:20,589
Oh, yes. Yes, I will. Oh,
indeed, I will, Mr. Headmaster.

100
00:06:20,672 --> 00:06:22,716
Though it's an odd
formality, isn't it?

101

This contract signing
year after year.

102
00:06:26,303 --> 00:06:30,432
You can tell the trustees from me
that old Fowler won't desert the ship.

103
00:06:30,515 --> 00:06:35,228
No, sir. He'll stay at the wheel
through fair weather and foul.

104
00:06:35,312 --> 00:06:38,648
Watch the crews come
aboard and then depart.

105

Professor. Professor
Fowler, please hear me out.

106
00:06:42,235 --> 00:06:44,112
Hm?

107
00:06:44,195 --> 00:06:48,950
The communication from the
trustees was not a contract.

108
00:06:49,034 --> 00:06:52,996
As a matter of fact, it
was a notice of termination.

109
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:56,499
You've been on the facul
Ty for more than 50 years.

110

You reached the normal
retirementage several years ago.

111

We decided at our winter meeting
that perhaps a younger man...

112
00:07:09,262 --> 00:07:11,848
If you could have been
at that meeting, sir,

113
00:07:11,932 --> 00:07:15,518
you would have been very proud of
the things said about you and your work.

114

all of us, but youth must be served.

Am I to understand, uh,

117
00:07:27,739 --> 00:07:30,283
Mr. Headmaster, that i-i...

118
00:07:31,785 --> 00:07:34,788
My contract is
not to be renewed?

119
00:07:35,872 --> 00:07:38,041
I'm... discharged?

120
00:07:38,124 --> 00:07:42,545
Discharged? Oh, no, professor,
please don't call it that.

121
00:07:42,629 --> 00:07:47,133
It's retirement and at half
salary for the rest of your life.

put off dinner for tonight?

got to eat something.

Perhaps later.

152

175
00:11:39,407 --> 00:11:42,035
I gave them nothing at all.

176
00:11:42,076 --> 00:11:45,955

the minute they themselves left.

177
00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:49,959
Aged slogans that were out
of date when I taught them.

178
00:11:50,043 --> 00:11:54,756
Quotations dear to me that
were meaningless to them.

179
00:11:54,839 --> 00:11:56,716
I was a failure, Mrs. Landers,

180
00:11:56,799 --> 00:12:00,470
an abjec t, miserable fail ure.

181
00:12:00,553 --> 00:12:02,889
I walked from class to class,

182
00:12:02,972 --> 00:12:08,770
an old relic teaching by
rote to unhearing ears,

183
00:12:08,853 --> 00:12:11,648
unwilling heads,

184
00:12:11,731 --> 00:12:14,943
as an abject, dismal failure.

185
00:12:15,026 --> 00:12:17,237
I moved nobody.

186
00:12:17,278 --> 00:12:20,156
I motivated nobody.

187
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:25,495
I left no imprint on anybody.

188
00:12:29,207 --> 00:12:33,169
Now, where do you
suppose I ever got the idea

189
00:12:33,253 --> 00:12:36,089
that I was
accomplishing anything?

190
00:12:38,007 --> 00:12:40,760
Think I'll take that nap now.

191
00:12:42,971 --> 00:12:45,265
And I apologize

192
00:12:45,348 --> 00:12:49,769

our dinner like this.

Professor Fowler?

198
00:13:49,746 --> 00:13:51,873
Well, Mr. Mann,

199
00:13:51,956 --> 00:13:56,336
I wonder if you ever
had any self-doubts.

200
00:13:56,419 --> 00:13:59,380
I guess not.

Well, that's odd.

209

Why would they ring now?

210
00:14:46,260 --> 00:14:49,597

I've missed you, Artie.

231

But, um,

232
00:17:11,072 --> 00:17:14,283
forgive me, but, uh,
what are you doing here?

233
00:17:15,535 --> 00:17:18,079
You shouldn't be here.

I was killed at iwo jima,
sir. That's right, professor.

236
00:17:24,877 --> 00:17:27,880
I wanted to show
you this, professor.

237
00:17:27,964 --> 00:17:30,758
It's the congressional
medal of honor.

238

It was awarded
to me, posthumously.

239

Very prideful thing,
Mr. Beechcroft.

240
00:17:39,183 --> 00:17:42,395
Very prideful thing.

241
00:17:43,771 --> 00:17:45,773
And I am indeed proud of you.

00:17:45,856 --> 00:17:48,901
You were always
a fine young man.

I died in roanoake,
Virginia, sir.

250
00:18:11,632 --> 00:18:15,177
I was conducting research
on X-ray treatment for cancer.

251
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:19,599
I was exposed to radioactivity
and I contracted leukemia.

252
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,934
I remember.

253
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:24,854
I do remember now, bartlett.

254
00:18:24,937 --> 00:18:29,358
That was an incredibly
brave thing you did, bartlett.

255
00:18:29,442 --> 00:18:32,945
I kept remembering, professor,
something youtold me.

256
00:18:32,987 --> 00:18:34,947
A quote, a poet named Walter.

257
00:18:35,031 --> 00:18:38,492
Howard Arnold Walter.
I remember.

258
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,786
He said,

259
00:18:40,828 --> 00:18:44,290
"I would be true, for there
are those who trust me.

260
00:18:44,332 --> 00:18:47,627
"I would be pure, for
there are those who care.

"And I would be bra ve

264
00:18:56,469 --> 00:18:58,638
for there is much to dare."

265
00:19:00,097 --> 00:19:02,391
I never forgot that, professor.

266
00:19:02,475 --> 00:19:05,728
That was something
that you, you left me,

267
00:19:05,811 --> 00:19:07,480
and I never forgot it.

268
00:19:10,524 --> 00:19:12,193
Very decent of you,

269
00:19:13,527 --> 00:19:16,197
bartlett, to say that.

270
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,701
That's why I brought this medal
to show you, professor Fowler.

271
00:19:20,785 --> 00:19:23,037
Because it's partly yours.

272
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:25,581
You taught me about courage.

273
00:19:25,665 --> 00:19:28,584
You taught me what it meant.

274
00:19:28,668 --> 00:19:30,711
How incredible.

The first one to die, professor.

280
00:19:50,106 --> 00:19:52,775
I was at Pearl harbor on
the Arizona. I was an ensign.

281
00:19:52,858 --> 00:19:55,236
I remember, Dickie.

282
00:19:55,319 --> 00:20:00,032
You saved a dozen men. Got them out of
a boiler room after they were trapped.

283
00:20:00,116 --> 00:20:02,368
Lost your own life doing it.

me. A poem by John donne.

over, Mrs. Landers, uh,

I really think I will retire.
