Army
personnel, in their first week of training, together with the
uniform, rifle and equipment, are ascribed a nick name. It is a name
that defines their personality, representing their behaviour, nature
and intellect.
Private
Quelch was a man too interested to bask in the glory. He would talk
in swaggering manner and display his knowledge without being asked.
Proud in vain, he would go on pretentiously displaying how much he
knew about all around. Once, on being asked if he had any training
before, he replied, “No,
Sergeant. It's all a matter of intelligent reading.”
This defined his personality.
Hence,
many nicknames can be suggested for “The Professor”
defining his character such as braggart, trumpet, vaunter, etc.
