Alice Elliott was an undergraduate at Cambridge. She studied sociology Sociology was not only her subject but also her great passion. And yet the professors and tutors were not very pleased with Alice’s work. They were right to a certain extent when they said that Alice did not read a suffi- cient number of books. It was also true that she did not attend all her tutorials. It was a fact that she did not always write her essays. But Alice worked very hard. Her only fault was originality. She had her own original conception of sociological studies. She favoured practical research and she did much field work. She often went to parties. She went to many dan- ces. She met and talked to many interesting people. Alice wax sometimes very tired, but she never missed a single party. She drank much coffee to keep awake. She knew the real value of careful observation, and careful observation required concentration. It meant hard work. Alice did not object to hard work. She knew that her parents paid the university fees - she had no scholarship. She wanted to get an honour’s degree to please her parents. She knew that the traditionally-minded dons (преподаватели) were against her methods of sociological research but she was prepared to defend her point of view.
