Rose was auditing a women’s figure drawing graduate class. Their model was a nude man, which had her flustered. Abe continued lecturing as he walked to meet her at her class, and he saw the nude man too.

While sitting with the ladies in the class as they shared their drawings, Rose asked them for what they would use their Master’s degrees in Art. They thought they would teach, but Rose pointed out that none of the art professors were women. She suggested transferring to the business school since there were more handsome men there. Simon, the dean, called Abe to his office to tell him Rose could no longer audit the art classes. Abe told him that despite how much he didn’t like that she saw a naked man in her classes, it was better than the alternative. He brought Rose in to explain herself, and soon, they wore him down on his stance.
