Professor Plumb as a Teacher

Ohio State University

Abstract

Only those who know Professor C. S. Plumb can realize the conflict of emotions of which he has been possessed since this function was announced. While keenly sensing the honor, he modestly shrinks from the notoriety. It is difficult, therefore, to say what one thinks of him in his presence.

It takes but a brief reference to cover Professor Plumb's teaching career chronologically: after serving successively as assistant editor of the Rural New Yorker for one year, and assistant on the staff of the New York Agricultural Experiment Station at Geneva for three years he finally found himself as Professor of Agriculture at the University of Tennessee in 1887, transferring to a similar position at Purdue University in 1890, assuming the position which he has filled with such distinction at the Ohio State University in 1902.

As a teacher, Professor Plumb stands indicted on his own charge, as it were.
