"I do not conceive it my function as a teacher to force ready made ideas on students. If I can make them think, then I have done my job."

Morris Raphael. Cohen

"Occasionally I meet former students who by their mere appearance bring home to me very vividly the picture of their presence in my classroom decades ago. Sometimes this passing of time becomes poignant when they are accompanied by sons of the same age as their fathers when they sat before me."

(M.R. Cohen, A Dreamer's Journey, Boston: Beacon Press, 1949, p. 280.)
