The Assistant Professor in a grim dormitory night
The narrator, an assistant usher in a grim Bececk dormitory, describes brutal routines, cold rooms, and watchful proctors. He laments long hours, meager pay of 47 francs, and constant fear as he endures ridicule from students and staff while seeking a scrap of dignity. He recalls the Ball at the Town hall and a concert by the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, the stern proctor, and his own isolation among tutors and professors. The scene closes with night toil, absinthe, and a bleak resignation.
