John Carroll is certainly far removed from the sophistication and esteem of Harvard life and so it remains a question how a Harvard graduate would find satisfaction in teaching in a small midwestern Jesuit university. After twenty-two years of service however, Mr. Joseph T. Cotter has more than decisively answered this question. Mr. Cotter’s enlightened, yet often scurrilous, treatment of Donne and Milton has not only brought the seventeenth century within many a Carroll student’s comprehension, but has also displayed the fact that learning is not always the force of pompous impression, but that it can also be the sharing of one human spirit with another. The spirit Mr. Cotter has shown, whether it be the result of his hearty Irish background, whicl he many times playfully chides, or whether it be the outflow of his fine scholarship, has overwhelmingly proven his dedication to John Carroll University. An avid theatre-goer, Mr. Cotter has been able to restore the experience of a first-run production in such vivid terms that his students have hardly felt that learning be the tedious task which tradition has maintained. Instead, Mr. Cotter has shared events with his classes which few students will forget. His yearly visits to Europe have helped to enhance his instruction with firsthand experiences and slides taken with the interest of the pupil in mind. Perhaps, as Mr. Cotter has stated, Ireland has produced the world’s greatest population of professional vagabonds. It would also seem that the Irish heritage, of which he is a lively part, has produced a teacher possessing a combination of the best attributes of Bernard Shaw’s flagrant, yet lovable, wit and Dylan Thomas’ great admiration for life. As a man lives. so shall he instruct.
