become knowing beings, and are aided in obtaining fitness for the world. Thus each day this man faces them in his role as a teacher, and in their roles as students they are taught in the light of their capacities to become knowing men. The teacherls very person, his attitudes, ideas and ideals, have an immeasurable influence upon his students. It is not ,rtgg lL solely as a teacher, but as counselor and citizen, perhaps asm' - f'li , , , X writer and moderator, that he faces them. And as such he plays H N an important part in prompting character and personality de- ' l Q' S' ix velopment. He stimulates and challenges his students, aiding them to move ' closer to becoming self-determined, mature and free persons, capable of as- certaining their own futures. He offers them experience in responsibility, challenges their maturity and tests their capacities for self-determination. He inter- weaves moral, intellectual and spiritual considerations, thus kindling their desires for knowledge and wisdom with reason and faith. As a cooperative instrument in the cultivation of the intellect and in the develop- ing of knowing men, he aids the student in coming to a better understanding of himself as well as of others, and in the acquiring of the skills and techniques that can be used in the attaining of knowledge and wisdom. He helps the student to be- come fit for this world and the next, and in so doing he is instrumental in effecting the influence exerted by university education as pointed out by John Henry New- mall. Thus it is that the teacher aids in raising society's intellectual and moral tone and in cultivating its mind. Thus it is that he has a hand in -M purifying the national taste, in supplying true principles and fixed aims ' - to popular enthusiasm and aspirations. Thus it is that he is influential in giving enlargement and sobriety to the ideas of the age, aids to facili- tating the exercise of political power and in rehning the intercourse of jf l private life. Certainly Henry Brooks Adams expressed the teacher's 3: role in saying, The teacher affects eternity- he can never tell where his influence stops. x , i I f x The figure of that man will continue to loom steadfast on the hori- zon of knowledge, and his shadow, cutting a path across the universe of thought, will continue to beckon, and guide and point to truth. And as long as that shadow continues to fall, other figures exemplifying the same wisdom and understanding will be culti- vated and developed, partly as a result of the efforts and influence of the man in the role of JN a university teacher.
