Current Trends in Graduate Instruction

Indiana University

Abstract

You have invited me to talk to you on trends in graduate instruction. Knowing no more than I do about the subject I should have declined, but being weak like most human beings I stammered around and finally said yes. Since I am a stranger to most of you I hope you will pardon me if I take the liberty of introducing myself. Dr. Hart in trying to be kind to me didn't tell you the truth, at least not the whole truth. Neither shall I for reasons not to be mentioned, tell the whole truth. Ordinarily I should say that a speaker should forget himself, but in this instance there may be good reasons for departing from well-established practice. While I do not remember the occasion I have been told that I arrived without bag or baggage in this somewhat mysterious world of ours one cold day in February many years ago. A knowledge of biology tells me that my beginnings was in the union of two germ cells, one of maternal, the other of paternal origin.
