00:01:16,009 --> 00:01:19,376
All her life she had wanted
to teach at Wellesley College.

2
00:01:19,546 --> 00:01:22,572
So when a position opened
in the Art History department...

3
00:01:22,749 --> 00:01:26,480
... she pursued it single-mindedly
until she was hired.

4
00:01:32,192 --> 00:01:34,422
It was whispered
that Katherine Watson...

5
00:01:34,861 --> 00:01:37,125
... a first-year teacher
from Oakland State...

6
00:01:37,297 --> 00:01:40,528
... made up in brains
what she lacked in pedigree.

7
00:01:50,977 --> 00:01:53,639

from California...

8
00:01:53,813 --> 00:01:58,147

3
00:00:08,730 --> 00:00:12,359
...who refused to conform
his ideals to popular taste.

4
00:00:12,534 --> 00:00:15,594
Who refused to compromise
his integrity.

00:00:15,770 --> 00:00:21,333
We have put him in a tiny box
and asked you to copy him.

6
00:00:21,943 --> 00:00:23,638
So the choice is yours, ladies.

7
00:00:23,812 --> 00:00:28,249
You can conform to what
other people expect or you can...

8
00:00:28,416 --> 00:00:31,385
I know. Be ourselves.

9
00:00:32,353 --> 00:00:34,253
You're a sight for sore eyes.
