Tom Lehrer, a long time Harvard math grad student in the 50's,
is the person Robert Tragesser is refering to. He used to entertain
his math TA sections with his songs.

[There was a wonderful mathematician/
piano-playing satirist in the 50's-'70's
whose name I forget (?) (Plagerize, let nothing
evade your eyes, etc.) one of whose
pieces made fun of hippy-counter-culture,
free university mathematics. . .]
