The story was syndicated by AP and widely reproduced by regional US newspapers, some of whose versions included comments from Bishop on how he had merely used the mace for its original, medieval purpose; a description of the 14-pound (6 kg), four-foot (1.2 m) long mace; and some stories, as related by Bishop in a talk he had recently given at Cornell, of much more violent disturbances in eastern US colleges during the 19th century. One such article: "Professor, 77, beats back demonstrator with a mace", The Cedar Rapids Gazette, 9 June 1970, p. 44. Via NewspaperArchive. "Professor Bishop remarked afterward that his action was especially appropriate since in earlier centuries a Bishop was not allowed to carry stabbing arms such as daggers, swords, etc., but could wield a mace."

Legman was referring to Morris Bishop, "Limericks", The New York Times, 3 January 1965, p. BR2. Available via ProQuest. Bishop gives a pithy description of the prosodic and semantic form of the limerick, but devotes much of his article to the limerick's history. Despite praising Bishop as "an authentic scholar and author of superb clean limericks", the author of a later paper on this history questions the Bishop's evidence for an Irish origin, which he dismisses as "another case of the irresponsibility of what passes for limerick scholarship".
