"So, impolitic as it might be, I'd like to believe that I teach because I want students to think of true education not as a frivolous mental gymnastics but as a compulsion to bring their intellect to bear on more than their textbooks. Maybe that way I can finally understand my place in the classroom--for both my students' and my own sake."
Darryl Campbell,a Ph.D. sttudent in history at the University of Notre Dame, wrote the above as part of "Wisdom as Secret Learning Objective" in the March 19 issue of the Chronicle Review. A copy of the Chronicle is in the library.
