They clash with each other constantly, even in their classes, such as their history class with Doctor Dillamond, who is the only Animal professor at Shiz University and is beginning to suffer from discrimination, even from the students. He tells Elphaba of a conspiracy to stop animals from speaking, and she wants to let the Wizard know so he can stop it ("Something Bad"). T4F Musicais - Timeline Photos - Facebook". facebook.com.
