    'Recently, a professor working in the College where I am Dean proposed a new course. The title and topic of the course was ‘Procrastination’. This proposal came before the College Course Selection Committee, which consists of the Dean, some Faculty, Professional Advising Coordinator and some appointed students. Naturally, we did all the requisite jokes: ‘I think we should accept it. Or maybe not accept it. Or accept it. Or … ’ and ‘Is she sure she wants to offer it?’ and ‘Will students know whether they should sign up for it or not?’ Once we had gotten over our proclivity for quipping, we pondered the proposal more critically.' (Graeme Harper, Procrastination : Editorial introduction)
