■ IN APPRECIATION A 4

Page 9 text:

In 1938, a young teacher from Columbia Uni¬ versity’s College of Physicians and Surgeons came to Tufts. His teaching assignment for the following spring was the introductory course in zoology. In the spring of 1968 he taught that course for the last time. After thirty years of service—to his stu¬ dents, to the scientific community, and to Tufts— Dr. Russell Le Grand Carpenter is retiring. Rarely in the history of Tufts has a career of such dedi¬ cation been seen in any man. He is probably one of the better known teachers on the hill. But many of his accomplishments are unknown to most of the Tufts community. He is a well known and highly respected histologist whose publications stand milestones in our knowl¬ edge of the eye’s structure. Not only has he taught courses in zoology, the history of biology, embry¬ ology, and histology during his career on the hill, but he is also on the staff of Harvard Medical School as a lecturer in opthalmology. . Many of the superb photomicrographs on display in the biological exhibits of the Museum of Science in Boston are his. Yet he is the kind of man who is never too busy to answer a student’s question or even show a group of grade-school children through the Barnum Museum. A man of many facets, well read and fascinating to listen to, he is at his best in front of a class. He has that special gift for making his subject come alive and for explaining the most difficult of con¬ cepts. He is a demanding teacher, a man who expects only the maximum effort from his stu¬ dents. In class he displays a quick wit and a de¬ lightful sense of humor which can turn to acid sarcasm when he finds a student who is not giving his best. His classes are spiced with social com¬ mentary, whether it be a comment on the latest protest movement or an explanation of how girls can wear short skirts and still not freeze their legs. The entire Tufts community will be diminished by his retirement this spring, but the students will suffer the greatest loss. For in an age when the average college science teacher is preoccupied with research, Dr. Carpenter stands as a monu¬ ment—a scholar who has never forgotten that he is most of all a teacher.
