The 1972 - ' 73 session of London Teachers ' College is not over. It has just begun. You have started to learn how to become a teacher. As you continue into the future in your chosen profession, which is often as frustrating as it is gratifying, I hope you never contem- plate that you have reached a point where you think there is nothing left to learn about teaching. If this past year has done anything to influence your life, I hope that it has shown you that the emphasis should be on learning and not teaching. All the frustrations that you encountered during the year and all the contradictions that you observed in theory and practice, should have made you realize the immense impor- tance of your role to facilitate learning in our society. Be confident and stand up for your principles. Don ' t be afraid to involve and experiment. Above all keep the fire of motiva- tion burning to light the way on your quest for learning. To all those who have made this year interesting and active, Thank you! To all of you, my best wishes for an exciting and challenging life in the career of learning.
