Because his lectures were always well-prepared and clearly delivered, students swarmed into his classroom. His followers appreciate the fact that he believed in what he taught and that he was intellectually stimulating. , he could be counted on to explain his ideas in an imaginative way, introducing such aids to understanding as paintings, recordings, pieces of sculpture and guest lecturers. He even sang a song in class to illustrate a point. , I admired the fact that he would meet with students outside of the classroom or talk to them on the telephone. He would challenge a student to a game of chess. , he would join groups to discuss subjects ranging from astronomy to pop music. , I was attracted by his lively wit.
