Pleasures of a Technological University
Edwin Morgan in his poem "Pleasures of a Technological University" recounts different subjects of arts and science next to each other, so that some people know it a curriculum of an art and science university. My question is that does "pleasure" in the title simply mean "enjoyment" or does it have anything to do with a university curriculum?
I mean does the title simply mean "Enjoyments of a Technological University"? Because, I thought "pleasure" might have a hidden meaning (like a slang) that is used in university environments. Maybe, "Concerns of a Technological University" would be a better substitute? What's your idea?

Top answer
I don't see any hidden meaning or special university-related meaning. I think "pleasures" may mean "enjoyable things" rather than "enjoyment" though. By the way, the word "enjoyment" is normally uncountable.
