A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Felix E. Schelling, Ph. D., LL.D. Professor of English Language and Literature in the University of Pennsylvania Several years ago, it was my privilege, during the college sessions of three years, to make the acquaintance of Mr. Alfred Belden Rice. On first meeting him as a student, I was attracted by his alert and attentive face, and soon learned to recognize in him an unusual eagerness in the pursuit of his studies, a fine independence of judgment and an ambition never to leave a task until he had thoroughly completed it. These traits, combined as they were with excellent natural abilities and with a charming modesty as to himself and his attainments, soon endeared him to me, as to all who knew him, and his untimely death severed only too soon a friendship which, I feel sure, would have been enduring. Young Mr. Rice was the furthest possible from the type of student who seems intent only upon the goal of a degree and is willing to take any short cut to the attainment of it. We, who teach are, perhaps, not as frequently deluded by these hunters after opportunities as they may themselves suspect. I am not prepared to say that experience in teaching brings with it the ability to divide students into types; it is better perhaps to recognize that each human individual is after all a type in himself. A mong the young, however, there is a tendency either to accept guidance in a spirit of blind and docile willingness to be relieved of the tedium of too much thinking, or, on the other hand, to assume a pert attitude of question as to practically everything that is said or thought by those who have had the misfortune to come into the world before these inheritors of the wealth of all time.
