...condensation of my views on teaching, I was quoted as not believing in "a libidinous relationship [between teacher and student] such as they have at Sarah Lawrence." I was discussing not sex mores, but teaching ethos. I expressed my belief that it is better for teaching to be problem-centered than, as at Sarah Lawrence, person-centered, and that the basic tie between teacher and student should therefore be intellectual, not libidinal. The discussion focused on how to encourage the love of learning, not on the learning of love. Sarah Lawrence, please excuse...
...more intimate relationships exist, outside the family or the church, than that of the average person with his doctor. Each year, nearly one billion visits are made to the U.S.'s 225,000 practicing doctors, or about five visits for every American.

The dependence is a fact, and as a realistic man he has learned to live with...
...problem," says Schorske, and the lecturer should always assume the student is "informed, intelligent, and committed. You then talk to him as a peer?as your companion in learning?and he begins to behave like one." Schorske does not, however, believe in "being buddy-buddy, or in a libidinous relationship such as they have at Sarah Lawrence." The teacher should be neither "lofty nor authoritarian," but his enthusiasm for communicating a subject should command "a natural respect...
