H -I focultvprofile ]- 0) i n iS o e Professor of philosophy Dr. Bill O ' Meara stands at the head of his Introduction to Philosophy class. O ' Meara made philosophy more comprehendible those students with no philosophi- cal experience by asking them to relate their studies to their own lives. ■ Photo by Carlton Wolfe I ' m being immortalized ... I ' m not sure why. » Dr. William O ' Meara Dr. William O ' Meara ' s was a name known throughout campus. Standing well over six feet tall and topped in snow-white curls, he had a memorable presence, both in and out of the classroom. But at more than a glance, O ' Meara was an able, enthusiastic and caring educator who was well-loved by his students. O ' Meara was a tenured member of the department of philosophy and religion. In addition to upper level philosophy courses taken mosdy by students in the major, he routinely taught Introduction to Philosophy, a 100-level course that fulfilled old Liberal Studies requirements and was part of many students ' General Education experiences. He also regidarly taught Existentialism and Introduction to Logic, classes popular amongst smdents of all majors. Outside the classroom, O ' Meara led several independent studies and small seminars for philosophy and religion majors and was responsible for coordinating student internships within the department. Regardless of the subject matter he was teaching, O ' Meara ' s soft-spoken yet emotive demeanor endeared him to students. I ' m being immortalized ... I ' m not sure why, was the only explanation he gave to his class as he glanced shyly at our photographer. He felt that philosophy was not simply a discipline to be learned but an activity to be practiced in everyday life. O ' Meara and the philosopher Socrates agreed: The unexamined life is not worth living, so he made every class one in which students actively participated and examined their own lives alongside course material. When he asked his smdents to share, O ' Meara was equally willing to share his own life experiences with his students. Students remembered O ' Meara because his interest in his students didn ' t end when class did. It was not rare to see a line of smdents waiting outside his door, long after office hours had ended. Bill O ' Meara made time for every one. ■ c 2 1 6 Classes ■ Profile: Dr. William O ' Meara
