So I did use CliffsNotes. That was in high school. Did not use them in college as an English major because I felt like it was time to get a little more serious, and I chose that major willingly, so I should probably do the work. Right. And that was the only work in college I really, really enjoyed was reading and writing. So I didn't use them in college.

But all that to say the elephant in the room is like, is this just for lazy kids? And you mentioned that Hillegas was like, no, but how would he enforce that or encourage that rather?

I doubt it, but I'm sure there were students like I did at times where a book was a little over their head and they used the CliffsNotes as intended to help with the book.

certain universities took charge in 1997. Villanova pulled CliffsNotes from their college bookstore. Other bookstores maybe didn't sell them, but they're the only one that Livvy could find, at least, that actually pulled them off the shelves.

And yelled, hut, hut, hut. Mm-hmm. Cliff did not like this, and they took out a full-page ad. I guess he was passed away by this point, but the company didn't like this. And they took an ad in the Villanova student newspaper, called it censorship, and the college was like, they can still buy these things anywhere. This is sort of a symbolic gesture.
