O Captain! My Captain!
To his students Robin Williams said: "Now I'd like you to step forward over here.
(they were now facing a trophy case displaying
pictures of students decades ago) They're not that different from
you, are they? Same haircuts. Full of hormones, just like you.
Invincible, just like you feel. The world is their oyster. They believe they're
destined for great things, just like many of you, their eyes are full of hope,
just like you. Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives even
one iota of what they were capable? Because, you see gentlemen, these boys are
now fertilizing daffodils. But if you listen real close, you can hear them
whisper their legacy to you.
I, as your professor, want YOU to learn beyond the text! "It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge." Albert Einstein
