Long, long ago I was in a Survey of English Literature class. It was taught by a man named Walsh, who was easy to spot because he had gray eyes, gray hair,and wore a gray tie and gray suit. He had a reputation as a tough grader and he famously flunked Easy Ed Macauley at St. Louis U.
First thing that I noticed about the class was that all the guys i knew were smart as hell. Eventually it became clear that everyone in the class was either on scholarship or a student brother, and there were a lot of English majors in there.
When the smoke cleared 3/4 got A's and most of the rest (including QS) got B's. Walsh was a tough marker. What happened? With a softened expression, Walsh told us that we were the bsst class he ever had in 30 years of teaching. I was tickled to get a B in there with Murderers Row.
