It feels like impudence to review a show whose protagonist staunchly affirms the irrelevance of the theatre critic. We are, so Dr Samuel Johnson tells us, merely ‘a species of dung beetle... [each] a fellow who makes himself fat upon other men’s droppings’. But it’s hard to imagine that A Dish of Tea with Dr Johnson – a light, humane stroll through Johnson’s life and writings – will be feeling any harsh stings from critics, dung beetle or no dung beetle.

PHOTO ESSAY: Graduation at Keio University a sartorial look to past, present

BY LOUIS TEMPLADO AJW STAFF WRITER

New graduates from universities are easy to spot during spring: They often wear traditional kimono paired with loose trousers and Victorian style lace-up boots. (Louis Templado)

New graduates of the prestigious Keio University pose for a photograph after their graduation ceremony. The woman on the right is wearing a Japanese kimono while the woman on the left is dressed in Korean jeogori and chima. (Louis Templado)

Now rarely worn, men were once expexted to show up in traditional male kimono matched with loose-fitting trousers. (Louis Templado)

Most male attendees at the March 22 graduation ceremony at the Hiyoshi, Kanagawa Prefecture, campus of Keio University attended the event dressed in their first business suits. (Louis Templado)

With more than 6,000 graduates in attendance, the Keio University graduation ceremony was too large to accommodate all parents and relatives, many of whom were forced to watch the event on a screen in a different hall. (Louis Templado)

These recent Keio graduates, clearly members of the university's lepidoptery circle, decided to add variety to the event by appearing in bow ties. (Louis Templado) A lepidopterist or aurelian is a person who specialises in the study of Lepidoptera,[1] members of an order encompassing moths and the three superfamilies of butterflies, skipper butterflies, and moth-butterflies. The term also includes hobbyists who are not formal scholars, who catch, collect, study, or simply observe lepidopterans.[2] Post-Renaissance, the rise of the "lepidopterist" can be attributed to the expanding interest in science, nature and the surroundings. When Linnaeus wrote the tenth edition of the Systema Naturae in 1758, there was already "a substantial body of published work on Lepidopteran natural history" (Kristensen, 1999).[3]

Graduation can be a bittersweet event for students, many of whom will enter the professional working world on April 1. (Louis Templado)

A flat narrow thigh muscle, the longest of the human anatomy, crossing the front of the thigh obliquely from the hip to the inner side of the tibia.

Teufelsdröckh in Monmouth Street, illustration to Sartor Resartus by Edmund Joseph Sullivan.

Thomas Carlyle's major work, Sartor Resartus (meaning 'The tailor re-tailored'), first published as a serial in 1833-34, purported to be a commentary on the thought and early life of a German philosopher called Diogenes Teufelsdröckh (which translates as 'god-born devil-dung'), author of a tome entitled "Clothes: their Origin and Influence" , but was actually a poioumenon.^[1] Teufelsdröckh's Transcendentalist musings are mulled over by a skeptical English editor who also provides fragmentary biographical material on the philosopher. The work is, in part, a parody of Hegel, and of German Idealism more generally.

阿魏（學名：Ferula assafoetida）是一種印度香料，又名興渠（Hingu）、阿虞、薰渠、哈昔尼、芸臺等。這種香草在西域有出產，但中國不常見，是一種近似芫荽的植物，所以亦有人直接指為芫荽。此名多見於佛經，屬於佛教徒禁食的五辛。

Asafoetida (Ferula assafoetida), alternative spelling asafetida,( /æsəˈfɛtɨdə/)^[1] (also known as devil's dung, stinking gum, asant, food of the gods, giant fennel, hing and ting) is the dried latex (gum oleoresin) exuded from the living underground rhizome or tap root of several species of Ferula, which is a perennial herb (1 to 1.5 m high). The species is native to India^[2]. Asafoetida has a pungent, unpleasant smell when raw, but in cooked dishes, it delivers a smooth flavor, reminiscent of leeks.
