  In high Tc superconductors a wide ranging connection between the doping
dependence of the transition temperature Tc and the room temperature
thermopower Q has been observed. A "universal correlation" between these two
quantities exists with the thermopower vanishing at optimum doping as noted by
OCTHH (Obertelli, Cooper, Tallon, Honma and Hor). In this work we provide an
interpretation of this OCTHH universality in terms of a possible underlying
quantum critical point (QCP) at Tc. Central to our viewpoint is the recently
noted Kelvin formula relating the thermopower to the density derivative of the
entropy. Perspective on this formula is gained through a model calculation of
the various Kubo formulas in an exactly solved 1-dimensional model with various
limiting procedures of wave vector and frequency.
