Professor Functions As Teaching Critic
(Editor's Xote: This is tlie second in a series of articles attempting to find out from the professors themselves,
“What is a college .professor?)
Ry JOE SALTZMAX
Teaching students is the first obligation of a professor at a private university.
This is the fundamental belief which molds the academic career of Dr. Ronald E. Freeman, assistant professor of English.
The professor must stimulate the student, excite him to do independent work.
He must serve as a critic by pointing out new directions. new ideas, and he must sharpen the perception of the student so that the student can best profit from the teacher-student relationship,” he maintains.
Dr. Freeman believes that this can be done through novel methods of class presentation. He tries to eliminate "the barrier of the desk" by talking about the student’s interests through the use of analogy, comparison and friendly association.
He feels that at a private university this can be supplemented through close student-teacher conferences out of class, both academically and socially.
"The idea of a private university should be to achieve an enlightened, casual atmosphere among faculty and students, “Dr. Freeman says.
Fulfill Many Duties The English professor says that there are many responsibilities which a colleee professor must fulfill.
“A good teacher has to know his subject field,” he declares. “It is essential to have thought through the subject matter so that the professor not only has a mastery of the facts and contributions to his own field, but also his own interpretation of these materials.”
Dr. Freeman believes that this is essentially in the field of English literature. He thinks that the professor is in a position to motivate the student through new insights.
He finds that the constant use of short papers limited in scope and concentrating on one work, one author or one image is an effective means of "motivating the student.	The	#raveling Exposition of Worthington and Tom Pagliuso.

A Misty Dream
The professor points out that this is not the case here.
• "The present state of affairs In education, and particularly at USC. seems to make this a misty dream of the past"
Dr. Freeman also feels that, research leading toward j janeously with°the Brazi! publication must remain secondary in his time allotment. 1
“It must remain a pleasurable avocation, not a dominating criterion for professional advancement or financial awards,” he explains.
From teaching, this professor hopes to get many things.
He wants to feel that he is helping young peopl« in every way—not necessarily teaching them Browning's poetry.
“I would like the respect and friendship of students and colleagues ba,sed on that fact that I am doing a. good lob -that my accomplishments can be made manifest, throuch the student’s accomplishments." he says.

This would not be “relief" through pat answers.

Dr. Freeman believes that it is essential for a real personal education to be a life-time process of change and modification, and he directs his teaching to the serious student who is receptive to change.
“Grades, measurements of any kind, fall Into oblivion beside the power of a new idea In a student’s mind and the pursuit of that idea to its ultimate growth.”
