Faculty renders valuable services. Teachers — like people everywhere — come in all shapes, in all sizes — and in all flavors. A teacher is known by what he teaches — but also by what he does, what he likes, and what he loathes. “Tell me his d’ruthers,” says the amateur psychologist, “And I’ll tell you the man.” (And then there’s that school of psychologists who need only a favorite flower as key — and they’ll unravel the whole personality.) Be this as it may. It’s debatable that the “essence” of a person can be extrapolated from any one facet of personality — but a bit of flavor might come through. We include a hobby, or a happenstance, or a bit of hoo-ray by each teacher’s name, like a novelist rounding-out a character by showing his other side. Mr. Faucette is obviously indulging in the teacher’s main job — to teach, but this is by far not the only one. Charles Abbott — Speech I, II ...
