There is little, perhaps, that is ivy about my institution of higher learning. Indeed, much of my own post-secondary and graduate education was at large state-run, which is to say public, universities, albeit of the so called 'flagship' variety.
Once upon a time, there were also stretches spent at a couple of universities in Norway during my graduate years. But I digress.
Regardless of the precise type of post-secondary institution, though, faculty and staff do not have to turn up looking like they have emerged from sleeping rough beneath a pile of sand along a county highway somewhere. After all, how can we expect students to take anything we have to say about a subject even semi-seriously if we resemble a pile of pungent, moldering laundry in the corner?
On a completely different note, one of the many legal ways we can find pleasure in small things during otherwise turbulent times is through dressing presentably. Even when we don't necessarily have to do so. It's simply a nice practice to cultivate for oneself.
