Q.No: 126 - 130
Read the following Passage and answer the Questions given below:
  The professor more than any other person finds himself shut out from the general society of the business world. The rest of the interests have, after all, some things in common. The circles intersect at various points. Iron and steel have a certain fellowship with pulp and paper, and the whole lot of them may be converted into the common ground of preference shares and common stock. But the professor is to all of them an outsider. Hence his natural dissimilarity is unduly heightened in its appearance by the sort of a vocational isolation in which he lives. Let us work further into the status and setting of the man. To begin with, history has been hard upon him. For some reason the strenuous men of activity and success in the drama of life have felt an instinctive scorn of the academic class, which they have been at no pains to conceal. Bismarck knew of no more bitter taunt to throw at the Free Trade economists of England than to say they were professors. Napoleon felt a lifelong abhorrence of the class, broken only by one brief experience that ended in failure. He invited sixty five professors to his palace, but at the end of half an hour Napoleon had had enough of the professors. "Put them all out", he cried and never again were they admitted into his presence.
