Excerpt from Charles Bradford Goff: 1834-1898
The office of a teacher is an office of great responsibility and is entitled to high honor. When a young man of unusual talents and acquirements turns away from the more lucrative professions and from the allurements of a business life, and deliberately selects the office of a teacher of youth, he should be commended and honored for his choice. It is true that he assumes grave responsibilities, but he is also putting himself in a position to do important work for the elevation of the race. Every one knows that a well-qualified and thoroughly earnest teacher exerts a tremendous influence in moulding the lives of his pupils. This is particularly true when his work is to fit young men for the college and the university. But when such a man is privileged to continue his labors during the period of a whole generation, and to receive under his instruction many children whose parents had been prepared by him for the university, he is specially favored.
