In this cartoon, Koren, a longtime illustrator for the The New Yorker, depicts a faculty member who informs his audience of a reorganization in the university through a song composed on his guitar. Koren plays upon the incongruity of the worlds of serious academia and popular music. While doing so, he expertly characterizes the atmosphere of reform and the tenuous situation of many academic administrations in late 1960s and 70s America. Koren was a Professor in the Brown University Art Department teaching studio courses during those years
