J.O.I.'s bio and E.T.A.'s founding (p. 64)
the extremely tall and high-strung but also extremely pretty and gainly and teetotalling and classy Dr. Avril Mondragon, the only female academic ever to hold the Macdonald Chair in Prescriptive Usage at the Royal Victoria College of McGill University, whom Incandenza’d met at a U. Toronto conference on Reflective vs. Reflexive Systems
Context
From the encyclopedic dossier on James O. Incandenza: the sentence recording his marriage carries Avril's founding credential — an endowed chair not in linguistics or grammar but in Prescriptive Usage, language-as-law institutionalized right down to the job title, and she's the only woman ever to hold it. First formal statement of Avril-as-prescriptivist, before the M.G.M. or the required Grammars exist on the page; even the meet-cute is at a conference on Reflective vs. Reflexive Systems, a grammar pun wearing an optics disguise.
