...know, I disagree with many of the particulars, and virtually all of the spirit, of the resolution passed by my own Faculty. This is not a pleasant situation in which to find oneself, especially since in discharging my duty to make public that resolution, I have inevitably been identified by many outside critics as one of its proponents. However, I am here underlining my onw attitude only to be sure that neither you nor any member of the Governing Boards is in any doubt about...

Dialogue involves serious listening-listen-, ing not just to the other, but listening to oneself. This rare and wondrous event Kaplan calls "communion" instead of communication. "It seems to me impossible," he says, "to teach unless you are learning. You cannot really talk unless you are listening." The student is also the professor; the joke teller should also be part of the audience. To Kaplan...
