A story from the mid-1930s, U. of Edinburgh medical school,
second-term human physiology course, Prof. Kenneth Ivors, Instructor:

"Good morning, class.  Before we begin today's lecture, I should like
to discover how well ye have been tracking the previous material. Miss
MacMaster, will ye stand?"  {She stands.}

"Can you tell me, which organ of the body achieves 10 times its normal
size when it is excited?"

{She stammers, reddens, says nothing.}

"You may sit down.  Mr. Campbell, can you answer that question?"

"It is the pupil of the eye, sir."

"Very good.  Now, Miss MacMaster, I have three things to say to you:
One, you have not done your homework, two, you have a dirty mind, and
three, you're in for a big disappointment."
