导师们，记住鲍勃·霍奇，还有伯洛伊特计划
贝洛伊特的特色
汤姆·麦克布莱德[英语名誉教授]
威斯康星州的简斯维尔.
One’s time in college is extended adolescence — we are learning to be adults, 学会成为社区和世界的一部分, 学会管理我们的时间, 我们的预期, 我们的情绪健康. It’s a good time, but it can often be difficult as one goes through it.
1986年4月，我的朋友安德鲁·C. Boggs’87, son of professor emeritus [of art] Franklin Boggs, passed away from brain cancer. A few weeks before his passing we had an ersatz graduation for him in his home, 与聂志强教授, 雷纳托Premezzi, and others from the music department along with President Hull and a few others I cannot place right now. We held a memorial in Eaton Chapel shortly after his passing April 13.
几周后, I was studying for finals in the second floor Pearsons lounge when then-registrar Ruth Colman Peterson’38 came to me and asked simply, “你需要补吗??“这是一个非常善良和敏锐的姿态, understanding that I was trying to study for finals while grieving for a friend.
Ruth helped define 贝洛伊特 and its dedication and understanding of 学生’ academic and social health, 这两者都是学生成就所必需的. She understood that there was 更多的 to college attendance than academics, and that the dynamics of professors and 学生 often were less about the capabilities than about how good the match was between them. Somehow Ruth took all that into account in weighing her duties as registrar, 这让贝洛伊特更有爱心和支持.

很多导师
I came across a 2019 贝洛伊特 magazine in which there was a request for stories about mentors. I remember thinking the first time I read it that I had many mentors in different ways and would be hard pressed to name one over the others. 今天, 当我再次看杂志的时候, I thought about my granddaughter who is looking at colleges, 我希望她的导师不是一个，而是很多, 就像我在伯洛伊特一样.
The magic of many mentors is that they each offered different insights and challenged me in different ways: Don Summers, 艾伦Patriquin, 丹尼摩尔, 比尔穆恩, 柯克丹麦, 我的美术老师, 我的钢琴老师，当然还有女学院院长, 多萝西Gilbertsen.
Part of the magic of 贝洛伊特 was the community of learning, the spirit of mentorship that the 教师 created and modeled, and the opportunities for 学生 to engage — the Learning Environment Counselors in the dorms for the Underclass Common Course (I was a UC-LEC), 志愿者辅导中心, 还有很多其他地方.
I have taught in four different universities during my career. I have always tried to measure up to the standard set by 贝洛伊特 教师 and create the kind of challenging, thoughtful dialogue of learning and supportive sense of community they provided for me. Students have written me notes about appreciating my mentorship; they were the beneficiaries of the model that was set for me by the 贝洛伊特 教师. 我很高兴知道这种精神还活着.

记住鲍勃·霍奇教授
我想分享一段关于霍奇教授的回忆. In 1972, I took a 20th century American history class with Professor Hodge. He was the youngest professor in the history department and had small children I remember seeing about campus. I had to write a term paper for the class and chose Joseph McCarthy and the red scare of the ’50s. 我的成绩是B. Hodge and an admonition to strive for 更多的 than “gentleman Bs.时间快进到2006年. Bryan Gordon’07 takes the same class and unbeknownst to either of us also choses Joseph McCarthy as his thesis topic. He receives a “B” and the comment “Like father, like son.“我不知道他是怎么做到的. 霍奇知道布莱恩是我儿子, nor how he still remembered me all the years and thousands of 学生 later, but I was impressed by his incredible memory and his dedication to his craft. As was the case with professors Robert Irrmann and Lester McAllister, 霍奇教授给我留下了难以磨灭的印象, 我如何分析世界和我自己. 我非常喜欢他. 我们会怀念他的.

贝洛伊特计划的反思
我百分之百同意, let me say that again — 100 percent — with the letter in 贝洛伊特’s winter 2022 magazine written by Steven Maier’69 [about the 贝洛伊特 Plan’s extraordinary opportunities]. I can go into great detail about all the advantages that the 贝洛伊特 Plan afforded me. 我希望我儿子在伯洛伊特上学的时候还在继续.
