' fpas= == Webster defines a professor as one who publicly teaches, in the higher education, any branch of knowledge; one on whom the title has been formally conferred by academic authority. For the students here at Carey, a professor is much more than that. He is not only the person who pours out portions of his knowledge to us each week, but the one, who, in so doing, gives part of himself to us. The pro fessor we honor in the 1974 CRUSADER is such a professor. His concern for his students goes far beyond the realm of the classroom. He does not hesitate to give extra help to the student who sincerely asks for it, and thinks little of his own time when he is needed. He gives willingly of himself, but expects, also, the complete self and involvement of the student. As a student himself, he is dedicated to his area of teaching and strives to create an interest in it for his students. He is many-faceted and does not try to limit either himself or his students. He is an active partici- pant in life, and takes an open mind into every situation. A desire to help students learn is always evident in his class and his methods of teaching are many and varied. To him, learning is not something that takes place only in the cl assroom, but rather a process by which you live each day, each hour. He is a teacher such as Kahlil Gibran describes in THE PROPHET: If [the teacher] is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind. It is to this great professor that we dedicate the 1974 CRUSADER; in honor, appreciation, and love, to you. Dr. David F. Gruchy. 27
