University of Arda

by TheUofA

AU. Tolkien's characters in a modern-day University setting. Here you will find the Fellowship of the Strings, Feanor the Mathematics professor, and the ages-old rivalry with Mordor College, and, last but not least, the guard Mini-Balrogs, Farmier and Maidros. Should be interesting...

2. Meet the Teachers

The University of Arda

Welcome back! I'll get through the introduction chapters quickly, but the actual story chapters will take a bit longer.

Please review, and, as always, flames amuse me. They'll be used to roast Denethor.

-MEET THE TEACHERS-

It is time for us to introduce a few of our elite professers here at UoA.

GANDALF MITHRANDIR- One of our best-known professors, Gandalf teaches Foreign Language classes Sindarin 1-4, Quenya 1-3, and Aduniac 1 and 2. He is also the strings conductor for the elite UoA Orchestra.

ELROND PEREDHEL- Another of our well-known professors. Elrond, our professor of Medical Studies, is also well-versed in ancient lore. His students have called him 'stern, but an excellent teacher.' Many of them, including his own son Elrohir, have come away with their doctorates in Medicine.

GALADRIEL AND CELEBORN TELERI- A husband-and-wife co-teaching pair. The esteemed psychologists are reportedly the best professors in Arda, experts at their profession. Their students are often intimidated at first, most likely because of Galadriel's unique telepathic abilities, but they soon fit into their classes very well.

DENETHOR STEWART- Our politics teacher is a bit of an odd one. No one really knows why we've kept him on, except because his record shows that more of his students have gotten their degrees than any other politics professor. Perhaps, though, that is because of his strange teaching methods.

BILBO BAGGINS- Our literature and English professor is none other than the author of the acclaimed fantasy novel, There and Back Again, a Hobbit's Tale, set in the far past of our land. He has an animated teaching style that is described as 'engaging,' and, though he can be a little odd, he's one of our best-loved professors.

THEODEN THENGALSSON- Theoden teaches full-time, and still has time for his family: his niece and nephew, adopted as his own children after a car crash that had killed both their parents. It would seem that he'd be exhausted, but our history teacher somehow manages to keep all of it together, plus being the Mayor of Edoras on top of it.

FEANOR NOLDOR- UoA's Mathematics teacher is also fairly odd, sometimes quite intimidating, and a bit overbearing. But he's one of the most intelligent professors here, and has raised a family of seven sons. No wonder his patience is tried sometimes...

THRANDUIL OROPHERION- Another of our busiest professors, teaching Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, and still managing to be Mayor of Mirkwood, and many other things.

FINGOLFIN NOLDOR- Feanor's younger brother is quite a bit more even-tempered, but still has the Noldor family's general personality. He teaches Earth Science and Geology, as well as Law, here at UoA.

CELEBRIAN PEREDHEL- The wife of Elrond, acclaimed conductress of our famous orchestra. She teaches all music-related classes as well as her orchestra conducting, coaching the Winds section individually, and has a way with her students.

That's it for this... I may add more professors as they come to me. Please note that these will hold many different positions in general life, as well as teaching.

As for the accents above the names, I know they're supposed to go there, I just can't find the way to put them there...
