So is it a joke on "Gilbert Ryle: The Concept of Mind"?

But it just reiterates his first example using breakfast instead of university...

'The first example is of a visitor to Oxford. The visitor, upon viewing the colleges and library, reportedly inquired "But where is the University?"[3] The visitor's mistake is presuming that a University is part of the category "units of physical infrastructure" rather than that of an "institution".'
