Ulysses
(born Grier).
Had Bloom and Stephen been baptised, and where and
by whom, cleric or layman?
Bloom (three times), by the reverend Mr Gilmer John-
ston M. A., alone, in the protestant church of Saint Nicholas
Without, Coombe, by James O’Connor, Philip Gilligan and
James Fitzpatrick, together, under a pump in the village of
Swords, and by the reverend Charles Malone C. C., in the
church of the Three Patrons, Rathgar. Stephen (once) by the
reverend Charles Malone C. C., alone, in the church of the
Three Patrons, Rathgar.
Did they find their educational careers similar?
Substituting Stephen for Bloom Stoom would have
passed successively through a dame’s school and the high
school. Substituting Bloom for Stephen Blephen would have
passed successively through the preparatory, junior, middle
and senior grades of the intermediate and through the ma-
triculation, first arts, second arts and arts degree courses of
the royal university.
Why did Bloom refrain from stating that he had fre-
quented the university of life?
Because of his fluctuating incertitude as to whether this
observation had or had not been already made by him to
Stephen or by Stephen to him.
What two temperaments did they individually repre-
sent?
The scientific. The artistic.
What proofs did Bloom adduce to prove that his tenden-
cy was towards applied, rather than towards pure, science?
