Liberal Education Book Shelf Debates In Satirical Tale
A humorous 1909 letter essay critiques Harvard Eliot and education, featuring Wanda and Wanda’s socialist views. It parodies liberal education by imagining a five foot shelf of books and a faux debate on what education should teach, ending with a spoof about Rob Crusoe discovering liberal education aboard a banana-raft.

Crusoe in exile and a scroll of strange letters
A bizarre archival letter saga recounts Robinson Crusoe like figures and a dialogue with Hon. Rob Crusoe. Hashimura Togo signs a missive detailing a desert island, shipboard gossip, and a toast to literacy while noting a bitten Japanese barber. The tone blends faux maritime memoir with a playful antique voice.
