...What do emeritus professors do? They lie in the sun and drink." Thus retired member of the faculty jokingly described his occupation as he thumbed through the galley proofs of his recently completed book. The jest was obvious. Many people who look forward to retirement from the business world desire a period of inactivity, and a life of comfortable leisure. This, for the most part, is not true in the academic world...

Many questions with obvious and simple answers are left hanging in the air by students who feel it is a waste of time to be dealing with them. My second point is that in our three years here at Wellesley, neither my friends nor I have ever been in any class where the discussion was voluntarily...
