Rush At the End Indeed

[sjester]

I've been poring over Tolkien's letters, searching for a particular quotation. I haven't yet found it, but I did stumble across this:

"As 'research students' always discover, however long they are allowed, and careful their work and notes, there is always a rush at the end, when the last date suddenly approaches on which their thesis must be presented."

It's rather apropos, even if it not relevant to my thesis.
