   In article <10eq7v9$388eh$1@dont-email.me> you write:   
   >Also, note that Meyer Wolfsheim says Gatsby was educated at   
   >"Oggsford College". Aside from the pronunciation, it's not Oxford   
   >College, it's the University of Oxford, which consists of   
   >forty-three "colleges" of varying sorts. [-ecl]   
      
   I think this is very deliberate in terms of showing who Wolfsheim   
   is, much in the way that the unused library helps show who Gatsby is.
