Professor Marjorie Swann
BY CHELSEA MAGRUDER
Who: Professor Marjorie Swann,
Bachelor's in English: Queens University,
Master's in English Literature:
Oxford University, Doctorate:
Oxford University
How long have you been at KU?: 14 years
Where are you from original-
lv? Hilton Beach, Ontario
What would students be surprised to know about you? James Naismith died in my bathtub. I live in the house he once owned, and his grandson told my husband and I that his grandfather had died in our bathtub.
What is your favorite spot in Kansas that you've visited? I would have to say the botanic garden in Hesston. That or Burns Cafe in Burns, because it has the best pie in the world, God himself makes the pie.
What types of hobbies do you have? I'm an avid gardener. I grow organic fruit and vegetables. I also collect 19th century to 1960 Kansas art. I travel around Kansas with my husband looking for good pieces.
If you could be any literary character, who would you be?: I would be Queen Elizabeth I in "The Dark Lady of the Sonnets," because she got to do what she wanted. She was clever and could hold her own, and she gave Shakespeare all of his best lines.
What do you like most about KU?: I really enjoy Potter Lake. Early in the morning I walk my dog along the lake and sometimes I see herring.
If you could swap places with someone, who would it be? I don't want to swap places with anyone. I am middle aged and have worked hard to get where I am.
What was your college experience like?: Oxford was a terrific intellectual experience, but it was such a stressful environment. There is a high suicide rate at Oxford because students can't handle the stress. It was not easy being a woman at Oxford.
If you were not teaching, what would you be doing? I would probably focus on my love of Kansas visual art. I appreciate the art for what it is and what it is not.
