I see know, a Ph.D in English. (Goodness gracious me!) It does explain her literary focus, I suppose.
I haven’t had much involvement with people who have graduate degrees in the liberal arts. Engineering graduate students usually can’t talk about their field of study to the general public at all :-)
I know a PhD. in Physics and when he talks about his work he might as well be speaking Mandarin!
Found cool pic of Bishop Asbury:

.. . . but the Episcopalians waited until they invented the Pullman Car. . . . .
