Okay, we'll have the PhDs teach the first-year courses, and hire
undergrads to teach the other years! :-) :-)

More seriously, although I wasn't aware of this situation in physics,
note that my original posting specifically suggested hiring the *best*
final-year undergrads as first-year teachers, not just any random bunch.
The selection process would not be trivial, but I think it could be done.
