Then there are others among you who believe in the theory of "God on Earth", who in His multiplicity shows His presence in the form of college professors; and damned are those who question his knowledge or show their ignorance by speaking in his presence. why are you here?? To learn, or to pick up a paper crutch, a college dégree. If the latter you are not only wasting our time but mine as well. I am not here only to learn from books and the tongues of intellectuals. I could succeed in this endeavour on my -own. aRather I am here to learn from you. I respect ou and your ideas, but how can I learn if no one is ready to communicate?

Dr‘is it tha you feel that I am not fit to share in YOU? knowledge, or is it a sense of domination by 5"ffirceful and articulate student, or is it even a sense of enferiority, or is it etc., etc. I think not.; Rather I feel you have a seneevofizdeepair in that you feel you are wasting your time in discussion. Instead you would like some concrete evidence of your work; a paper, so you will feel a sense of pride and achievement.. Why can't you cherish an hour of conversation in which you have been both a learner and a teacher? This, though not concrete, is still a great posSession because a discussion will become a property of your mind which you can share-with others. MAKE UP I!
