What is a scholar? A scholar is an individual who is dedicated to the advancement of his own knowledge in certain specific areas. And he is one who 1s generally considered out of contact with the reality of the temporal world. Lost in the cocoon of his sheltered academic atmosphere, he is often ignorant of the practical applications of his esoteric observations. What is a teacher? A teacher is conversely engaged in the imparting of knowledge to the uneducated mind. In many cases, an educator is so engrossed in the communication of ideas and facts to others that he fails to continue in his own growth and learning. What is the ideal synthesis of these two? An intellect which is quick, an interest in the dissemination as well as collection of knowledge, the ability to stimulate natural curiosity, the ultimate aim of increasing a student’s perception, enabling him to associate learning with reality. A man, who although a scholar first, still remains above all a teacher. Such an individual is a member of our faculty, one who is caught in the untenable position of straddling the centuries. A part of him refuses to accept anything which is modern—meaning anything occurring after the close of the eighteenth century—and a part of him inevitably draws a comparison between modern television heroes and the figures of the past. He believes in the existence of Druids, and often thinks in Old English, and yet he is as aware of the problems of today’s changing world as any enlightened person can be. He is dedicated to the stretching of the intellect, and furthers his aim through mutual discussion with his students both in and out of class. His sense of humor is representative of his intellect, his friendliness, of his nature. He is an advisor, an educator, a friend, and it is for this combination of attributes that we dedicate the 1966 Rawenoch to the original beloved old Druid, Dr. William J. Deegan.
