Thoughts on Becoming a Fellow: ?EUR??,,????'??The Old English meaning of fellow was servant. As a new Fellow, I hope to continue to be a servant to the profession. It was a treat to reflect on my 35 years in teaching as I prepared my submission. Anything I have accomplished has been due to the inquiries posed to me by two generations of wonderful students.?EUR??,,????'??
