  • you think of it as a foreign language, or just a language.” Honestly, she said that! And I wouldn’t be caught dead speaking the English she used. By the way, she considered Somerset Maughm mediocre! I washed and ironed this morning, washed my hair, (by the way, the mail is not taken up here on Sunday) stayed at the library from 2-5, and now I have to read some plays. I like that proff. but if I make a B in Bishop's class I'll be thrilled to death. Much love, Josephine

  • In a letter to her family, on June 17, 1935, Josephina Niggli describes her experience at school in several of her classes, as well as her interactions with other students. Niggli gives various opinions on the poets discussed in her Romantic Poets course, and expresses her displeasure towards certain minor poets. Niggli also gives a humorous anecdote that took place in her class in which the professor posed a question to Niggli, and she answers despite not reading the class notes. Also included in the letter are some interactions Niggli has had regarding her Mexican heritage. In her Elizabethan Drama class Niggli answered a question that her fellow students all failed to answer, causing her professor to question the the class on how a foreign born woman is more familiar with the subject than the rest of the students. Another interaction was with a student, who asks Niggli if she sees English as a foreign language or just a language, a question which seemed to baffle Niggli.
