  With his second marriage, Prior changed. He became ‘secure and serene’ (Kenny 1971). The rather priggish young man disappears from his letters and a more mature, more lovable Prior emerges. In November 1945, he applied for a temporary lectureship at Canterbury University College, in Christchurch, a vacancy created by Popper’s departure. By now he had a further three articles in the Australasian Journal of Psychology and Philosophy—‘Can Religion be Discussed?’ (1942), ‘The Meaning of Good’ (1944), and ‘The Subject of Ethics’ (1945)—and with a strong recommendation from Findlay, he got the job. Prior started work in February 1946, on a salary of £600 a year. It was a new beginning.
