Friday. September lo. I965 " Ieiichér-Sliidenl Relationship Exacls Bolli Open Minds and Open Stomach: To the Editor: By Vii-lure of age and most iln' poi-taut, education, the student and cteacher stand on ditterent planes. They have often been described as being polenuciilly opposed: better that they should be in juxtaposi- tion. l am not advocating the im- possible, a state of intellectual rapport, but most certainly there can and should be a point of great or understanding. This understand- ing is not to be reached by a blind and uiireasoning tolerance benefir oently bestowed by one group upou. tiie other. but it may well be ar- .rived at through the process ot education itself. Great is the professor who through the work ot a Voltaire iiir troduccs his students to the write .ings ol a Marx as well. Greater still is he who not only introduces. but teaches opposing human con- cepts, It is the great and constant danger to the classroom that the .soot ot stagnation and apathy will descend upon the pedagogue and the student alike—a stagnation bred by narrowness of mind and fruitless intellectual calesilienics. g There is a beauty to be discov- ered in the study of the Hegelian dialectic; a wonder to be bestowed up on the student or an Einstein or Fermi: a thrill to be experienced by the reader or a De Toqueville or Whitehead. Untortunately. the beauty, the wonder, and the thrill are otten equated with a erfectlon which is attributed to t e indivir Oduai studied, Where the question- ing process should begin, it is end- ed Tile long pilgrimage which a true education demands is trans- formed into an abortive excursion ' or shoit mileage and few sidetrips. The fault, dear reader. rests not upon the shoulders of the protes- sors alone any more than it tails 4 upon the student. The responsibili- ty should be shared equally by both, The teacher must offer the challenge and guidance—the stu~ dent must have the fortitude and desire to accept the challenge. The citadels oi learning can oftei- one a blanket of false se- curity tor a tow years if one is a 1 student and for a lifetime if you are a professor. It is a secu ' ot bcautiful ideas beautifully written. One day a man can be wooed by the conservatism of Burke, the . next day the ultraleftist Marx may beckon him. This is good, but it is the tirst step only. Both pretessor and pupil must descend the staircase of ideas and mingle with humanity. The basic question must be asked: Does what we are studying have a place in the society in which we are living? , Pal'i ot the answer lies in the class- room. part in the man on the street. Some may pursue it in the alflur eucc of a wealthy surbuban de- vciooiucnt, others by work'ng \n .tiie snittle ot human despa 7the slums, India, or Appalachia, How ever, the answer can only he tound Sl'udenls w. marry a full line ot DulARRY COSMETICS. AMERICAN GREETING CARDS. MEN'S TOILETRIES AND PRESCRIPTIONS AND SICK ROOM SUPPLIES THARP Pharmacy for those who question. and this is the [rile objective of education. When student and scholar realize this, they will have accepted for themselves a sentiment echoed by Alexander Pope two centuries ago, “The proper study of mankind is man" ll man does not live by bread alone, neither should the educated live by the theories which are contained in hooks alone. it this is taught then our campuses will most certainly foster a deeper understanding between the faculty and student body and the educa- tional process will take on a much deeper and more rewarding signifi cance.
